Feminist Ethics

In Globalising Care, Fiona Robinson integrates feminist theory & ethics with international relations. By bringing in the important contributions of feminist moral & political theorists, contributions that are notably absent from most of the important work in this field, Robinson broadens the debate on normative theory in international relations. Also explored are the possibilities for translating "feminist ethics," including the theory of care, into the global context.

In this second edition of her 1989 survey on feminist theory, Rosemarie Tong provides a more comprehensive & substantially redrawn map of twentieth-century feminist thinking. Besides providing up-to-date coverage of liberal, radical (libertarian & cultural), & Marxist-socialist schools of feminism, she covers psychoanalytic, existentialist, & postmodern feminism. All the chapters have been rethought & new chapters on ecofeminism & multicultural & global feminism have been added. Contents: Introduction. Liberal Feminism. Radical Feminism: Libertarian & Cultural Perspectives. Marxist-Socialist Feminism. Psychoanalytic & Gender Feminism. Existentialist Feminism. Postmodern Feminism. Multicultural & Global Feminism. Ecofeminism. Conclusion.

No other group of medical issues affects the genders as differently as those related to procreation. In this book, Tong offers an approach to feminist bioethics designed to guide the various factions towards a consensus.
