The Man Of Reason
''The Man of Reason: "Male" and "Female" in Western Philosophy'' (1984; second edition 1993) is a book about the association between maleness and reason in western philosophy by the Australian philosopher Genevieve Lloyd. The work received positive reviews. It has been called a twentieth century classic of feminist thought, and is widely read in the Nordic countries. Summary Lloyd discusses the relationship between gender and ideals of rationality, and the related issues of relativism and cultural relativism, and addresses the "maleness" of "character ideals centred on the idea of Reason", which in her view has implications for how gender difference is understood. She discusses philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, René Descartes, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Simone de Beauvoir, beginning with a discussion of her ''The Second Sex'' (1949). Publication history ''The Man of Reason'' was first published by Methuen in 1984. It was r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
