About the Book:In Is Philosophy Androcentric?, Iddo Landau contends that none of the arguments for viewing philosophy as pervasively androcentric ultimately stand up to rational scrutiny, while the ones that show it to be nonpervasively androcentric do not undermine it in the way that many critics have supposed. Philosophy emerges, in almost all of its parts, he concludes, as human rather than male, and most parts and aspects of it need not be rejected or rewritten.”Table of Contents: ContentsAcknowledgments1.Introduction2.Explicit Androcentric Statements3.Associations, Stereotypes, and Social Practices4.Harmful Philosophical Notions5.Metaphors6.Values, Interests, and Domination7.Philosophies and Mentalities8.Androcentric Omissions9.A Feminist Alternative?10.Concluding RemarksBibliographyIndex
