Summary

Philosophy's traditional man of reason--independent, neutral, unemotional--is an illusion. That's because the man of reason ignores one very important thing--the woman. Representing Reason: Feminist Theory and Formal Logic collects new and old essays that shed light on the underexplored intersection of logic and feminism. Visit our website for sample chapters!
