Abstract

“Ethics” is enjoying a theoretical and practical boom: Animal ethics, medical and bioethics, legal ethics, and neuroethics, to name a few of the current discussions that use reconstructed and modernized moral philosophies. “Ethics advisors” are springing up like weeds in the arena of sports as well as in the framework of current cultural and religious discourses. It is therefore no wonder that the category of “gender” is now undergoing ethical examination. In the collected volume at hand, the basic concerns of feminist ethics are examined not only by presenting individual feminist descriptions but also by considering the context of the demands of differing disciplines. The book therefore represents a tour of the sciences themselves.
