What is gender? What are sex and sexuality? What role does the gendered body play in the practice of philosophy? This course takes a cross-cultural approach to the philosophy of gender while considering the gendered nature of the world’s philosophical traditions. Students explore how philosophy has always been gendered, from the very beginning. And they will explore critiques of the gender assumptions built into philosophy from ancient times to the present day.
