Law, Selfhood and Feminist Philosophy
At the intersection of law, feminism and philosophy, this book analyses the ways in which certain bodies and ‘selves’ continue to be treated as monstrous aberrations from the ‘ideal’ figure or norm. Employing contemporary feminist philosophy to rethink accepted legal ideas, the book is divided into three sections. The first focuses on the different relational ontologies of philosophers Adriana Cavarero and Christine Battersby – also considering t…
Spinoza’s Conception of Personal and Political Change
Spinoza, Kant and the sublime
In this article, I draw out the implications of understanding Kant’s influential analysis of the sublime through Spinoza’s framework. By delineating different stages in the sublime experience, I map Kant’s description of the dynamic and mathematical sublime, with their associated pleasure in pain, onto Spinoza’s analysis of our encounter with any (art) object. Both describe experiences that start with imagination and sad passions turning to joyfu…

Feminist Interpretations of John Rawls
In Feminist Interpretations of John Rawls , Ruth Abbey collects eight essays responding to the work of John Rawls from a feminist perspective. An impressive introduction by the editor provides a chronological overview of English-language feminist engagements with Rawls from his Theory of Justice onward. Abbey surveys the range of issues canvassed by feminist readers of Rawls, as well as critics’ wide disagreement about the value of Rawls’s corpus…

Narrative of a Mission to Central Africa, 1850-1851
Undertaken for the purpose of promoting legitimate trade in Central Africa, the Richardson mission was a compound of philanthropic and diplomatic interests advocated by Richardson. His main targets were the Sahara, Bornu and the Sudan
Christine Battersby and the Law
In this article, Janice Richardson examines some of the implications for legal theory of the work of Christine Battersby, starting with a discussion of her view that dependency should be viewed as the norm. She then considers the way in which Battersby critiques and reworks Kantian metaphysics. By attending to women's position within Kant's conception of self, Battersby goes beyond a critique of his image of a self to produce a different image of…
The Concept of Harm in Actions for Wrongful Birth
Both judicial and academic analysis of so-called ‘wrongful birth’ cases, in which there is a negligence claim arising from the birth of a child that has resulted from negligent sterilisation or advice, can shed light upon prevailing attitudes to women. In particular, some judgements still reflect ‘pre-modern’ beliefs that motherhood is women’s natural fate in life. Such a position thereby marginalises women’s intentions and life plans with regard…
Untimely Voices
In this paper, I juxtapose the work of two contemporary feminist philosophers: Christine Battersby and Adriana Cavarero – both working within the Continental tradition – to show how they go well beyond feminist critique to produce different images of self-identity and conceptions of the political. Both reject traditional positions on selfhood but also (in different ways) stress the materiality of bodies and provide alternatives to the work of pos…
Jill Marshall, Personal Freedom through Human Rights Law? Autonomy, Identity and Integrity under the European Convention on Human Rights
This is a very interesting, timely and scholarly work that analyses images of selfhood, personhood and identity within decisions of the European Court of Human Rights. These images are examined in the context of some of the philosophical ideas on which they depend. The book is timely, particularly in the area of privacy law. As is well known, the Human Rights Act 1998 has changed the nature of privacy law in the UK, especially with decisions of t…
Feminism, Property in the Person and Concepts of Self
In this article, I examine the role of the fiction of property in the person in recent feminist debate, comparing Carole Pateman's position with those who are more sympathetic to the image of contract for feminist/anti-racist political theory, such as Charles Mills, Jean Hampton and Susan Moller Okin. I then turn to the question of selfhood. As a fiction, property in the person does not say anything regarding what it is to be a ‘self’. However, I…

Effects of treated and untreated depressive symptoms on highly active antiretroviral therapy use in a US multi-site cohort of HIV-positive women
This study examines the effects of treated and untreated depressive symptoms on the likelihood of utilization of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) among a multi-site cohort of HIV-infected women who screened positive for probable depression. Data were collected biannually from 1996 through 2001 in a prospective cohort study. Random-effects regression analysis was used to estimate the longitudinal effects of mental health treatment on t…

Slavery and Augustan Literature
Slavery and Augustan Literature investigates slavery in the work of Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope and John Gay. These three writers were connected with a Tory ministry, which attempted to increase substantially the English share of the international slave trade. They all wrote in support of the treaty that was meant to effect that increase. The book begins with contemporary ideas about slavery, with the Tory ministry years and with texts written…
Dissatisfaction with medical care among women with HIV
Studies have shown that women with HIV/AIDS in the USA are less likely than men to have access to appropriate health care and to utilize services, including the latest antiretroviral drug therapies. One explanation for this underutilization is patient dissatisfaction with medical care. Dissatisfaction with care has been shown to be associated not only with treatment underutilization, but also with discontinuity of care and poor clinical outcomes.…
Minority Religions and the Context of Violence
Violence (broadly defined to include collective as well as individual violence) associated with the recent rise of newer religious groups or 'cults', as well as longer-term minority religions, is examined, using a conflict orientation. The interactional nature of such violence is discussed, with accusations of violence concerning minority and newer religions placed in a conflict perspective that stresses the interdependency of religious groups an…

Tobacco excise and declining tobacco consumption
Excise elasticities of demand for non-cigarette tobacco and cigarettes were calculated for Papua New Guinea for the 14 years 1973-86. Respectively, these were -0.50 and -0.71. This means that 10 percent increases in cigarette and non-cigarette tobacco excise are associated with an estimated 7.1 percent fall in demand for cigarettes and a 5 percent decrease in the demand for tobacco. As tax (excise) elasticities would normally be significantly sma…
