  • Silencing and Speaker Vulnerability

    Pamela Sue Anderson, Nicholas BunninEDITORCHAPTERLove and Vulnerability2021

    Teasing out the paradox surrounding speaker vulnerability in philosophy is part of the author task today; the other part is "arguing" that mutual vulnerability in philosophical relations is what should characterize collective work in philosophy – or, at least, in feminist philosophy. The vulnerability of a (woman) speaker follows from her dependence upon an audience; if she is to be heard, her dependence requires an audience who is both willing a…

  • Reorienting Ourselves in (Bergsonian) Freedom, Friendship and Feminism

    Pamela Sue Anderson, Nicholas BunninARTICLEAngelaki2020

    Pamela Sue Anderson urges feminist philosophers to embrace Michèle Le Doeuff’s revaluation of women in philosophy through according “fair value” to intuition as an intellectual faculty, a view of intuition articulated by Henri Bergson. She asks whether women who follow Bergson could be given fair value along with intuition. She turns from Le Doeuff’s writings on intuition to writings by Bergson and by Beauvoir, but periodically returns to Le Doeu…

  • Vulnerable Selves and Openness to Love

    Nicholas BunninARTICLEAngelaki2020

    In this personal tribute to Pamela Sue Anderson, based on many conversations, I try out the idea that she was seeking to locate an underlying metaphysical and ethical unity that makes our human vulnerability, love and reflective self-understanding both possible and intelligible. I trace this unity in Pamela’s philosophical imaginary to resonances or retrievals from three philosophers who featured in her “internal dialogues”: Spinoza, Kant and Lev…

  • Silencing and Speaker Vulnerability

    Pamela Sue Anderson, Nicholas BunninARTICLEAngelaki2020Cited by: 1References: 6

    The French feminist philosopher Michèle Le Doeuff has taught us something about "the collectivity," which she discovers in women's struggle for access to the philosophical, but also about "the unknown" and "the unthought." It is the unthought which will matter most to what I intend to say today about a fundamental ignorance on which speaker vulnerability is built. On International Women's Day, it seems appropriate to speak about – or, at least, t…

  • Philosophy of Social Science

    Open AccessMartin Hollis, Eric Tsui-James et al.BOOKBlackwell Companion to Philosophy1994Cited by: 42References: 1

    This textbook by Martin Hollis offers an exceptionally clear and concise introduction to the philosophy of social science. It examines questions which give rise to fundamental philosophical issues. Are social structures better conceived of as systems of laws and forces, or as webs of meanings and practices? Is social action better viewed as rational behaviour, or as self-expression? By exploring such questions, the reader is led to reflect upon t…
