Thinking with Women Philosophers

Critical Essays in Practical Contemporary Philosophy
This book focuses on some English-speaking women philosophers who have been
major actors since the 20th century in the field of practical philosophy, namely political
and social philosophy, feminist approaches to philosophy, moral psychology, the theory
of action and ethics. The book explores topics linked to the main aspects of the thought
of those philosophers, i.e. Elizabeth Anscombe, Judith Butler, Philippa Foot, Nancy
Fraser, Carol Gilligan and Martha Nussbaum. Six women French commentators have
written a chapter on each of those women anglo-american philosophers, creating a
dialogue as they think with them, elaborating their own positions in their respective
fields.
