- Summary
- "Rediscovering Women Philosophers: Philosophical Genre and the Boundaries of Philosophy examines the writings of our philosophical foremothers and explores what their work may have to offer modern theorizing in feminist ethics. Gardner interprets a varied selection of moral philosophers in an attempt both to contribute to our understanding of their work and to investigate why such work is often neglected or misunderstood. She looks into the reasons such literary forms as novels, letters, and poetry have often been assigned non-philosophical status, while they seem to he prevalent in the work of women philosophers from the history of philosophy."--Jacket.
