18Who's There? Selfhood, Self-Regard, and Social RelationsHypatia 20 (4): 200-215. 2005.J. David Velleman develops a canny, albeit mentalistic, theory of selfhood that furnishes some insights feminist philosophers should heed but that does not adequately heed some of the insights feminist philosophers have developed about the embodiment and relationality of the self. In my view, reflenvity cannot do the whole job of accounting for selfhood, for it rests on an unduly sharp distinction between reflexive loci of understanding and value, on the one hand, and embodiment and relationalit…Read more

16Reading with Feeling (review)Review of Metaphysics 52 (1): 143-144. 1998.Susan Feagin positions Reading with Feeling at the crossroads of aesthetics, philosophical psychology, and moral philosophy.

Recognition, Responsibility, and Rights: Feminist Ethics and Social TheoryRowman & Littlefield Publishers. 2002.In the words of Catharine MacKinnon, "a woman is not yet a name for a way of being human."

Recognition, Responsibility, and Rights is written in response to that failure. This collection of essays by prominent feminist thinkers advances the positive feminist project of remapping the moral landscape by developing theory that ackn…Read more
