CLASS, RACE, GENDER & PHILOSOPHY
The interest in questions of class, race, and gender which has swept other parts of the humanities has made relatively little impact upon the discipline of philosophy, though some philosophers have begun addressing these issues explicitly. As with most of the humanities, the focus has been on race and gender, rather than class (which is hardly surprising given the role of universities in the productive system and the class interests of the professoriate). Much of that work is already accounted for in the specialty rankings above, under rubrics like political philosophy and philosophy of mind. But students with particular interests in philosophical issues connected to race and gender would do best to seek out important philosophers who are writing on these topics, which often cut across many of the sub-specialties of philosophy. For those especially interested in gender, investigate the work of the following philosophers: |
