This worksheet accompanies ‘Rings and Books’ and asks whether the male-domination of philosophy might have shaped the way we think about human nature and knowledge.
Project Details:
This worksheet focuses on Mary Midgley’s article Ring and Books. In it she discuses the relationship between certain approaches to philosophy which have dominated its history, the men who have largely been responsible for that philosophy, and the social factors which may have influenced those men—and thereby, the philosophy.
