Hegel ja feministinen ajattelu - epätodennäköinen yhdistelmä?

Hegeliläinen filosofia on vaikuttanut monen feminismin klassikon ajatteluun aina Simone de Beauvoirista Luce Irigarayhin. Uudessa kirjassa Hegel’s Philosophy and Feminist Thought käsitellään Hegelin merkitystä nykyisessä feministisessä filosofiassa. Tässä artikkelikokoelmassa Hegeliä tulkitsevat uudelleen muun muassa Tuija Pulkkinen, Kimberly Hutchings ja Judith Butler.

Hegel's Philosophy and Feminist Thought

Edited by Kimberly Hutchings and Tuija Pulkkinen
Palgrave Macmillan, July 2010, 286 pages

Although Hegel and feminism seem an unlikely couple, Hegelian philosophy played a prominent part in the thinking of groundbreaking feminist philosophers from Simone de Beauvoir to Luce Irigaray. This book offers a new generation of feminist readings of Hegel from leading scholars in the both fields. Through close readings and innovative arguments, this book makes a significant contribution to the debate on gender and provides insight into philosophical method.

She is the author of Kant, Critique and Politics, International Political Theory, Hegel and Feminist Philosophy, and Time and World Politics.

“This book presents some of the best and most prominent contemporary authors engaged in feminist readings of Hegel. Contributors offer particularly original close readings and ingenious arguments. Hutchings and Pulkkinen
include both some very high level and emergent voices of distinctively high calibre. All in all, the number of names with a reputation for innovative, distinctive, finely nuanced and responsible work is impressive.”
— Penelope Deutscher
