Abstract

Each chapter gives the reader a lens through which to see and reflect upon ways that historically patriarchal approaches to traditional ethics, social and political philosophy, views about violence, war, and gender issues have kept hidden, or even dismissed, the centrality of fundamental relationships humans have with one another—a main contribution of feminist approaches to these areas. This volume takes an interdisciplinary approach to complex and persistent social and political problems and offers suggestions about how to consider, analyze, and find solutions.
