Abstract

Can the academic disciplines of gender studies and philosophy benefit from one another? The participants of this anthology definitely affirm this question and believe that the collaboration offers considerable – mainly still unexploited – potential, whose multifacetedness the book indeed illustrates nicely. However, particularly due to the abundance of discussed questions, the book would have profited from a clearer content-systematic structure. Nevertheless, due to stimuli for various contemplations about specific content-related and epistemological questions and a distinct accentuation for the development of feminist theory, it not only provides evidence for the potential of gender studies for philosophy, but it also reveals the potential for inspiration in the reverse direction.
