Is Philosophy Androcentric?

“This fine book provides a carefully and closely argued critical examination of the argument that philosophy is androcentric. Treating both analytic and continental traditions, the book is clearly enough written to be useful in undergraduate and graduate courses, but it is also well worth reading by scholars in the field.” —Sara Worley, Bowling Green State University

“‘Feminist philosophers’ will buy it in great volume and attack it with abandon because, in spite of principled objections to the adversarial method, most ‘feminist philosophers’ in the English-speaking world are real philosophers, trained in the adversarial method, who in spite of pious claims to the contrary really like beating up on people. This is red meat.” —Harriet Baber, University of San Diego

“Iddo Landau has written a focused and clearly organized book in which he investigates the extent to which Western philosophy is androcentric.” —Sharon Crasnow, Philosophy Reviews
