Le souci des autres
Les perspectives féministes connaissent depuis une trentaine d'années un développement considérable dans le champ académique anglo-saxon. Si les analyses en termes de genre sont désormais connues du public français, l'idée de care - mot habituellement traduit par soin, attention, sollicitude - n'a pas trouvé un accueil aussi évident, sans doute en raison de sa dimension provocatrice. En réintégrant dans le champ des activités sociales significati…
Gênero, o público e o privado
Neste artigo, a filósofa política Susan Moller Okin discute as configurações históricas da dicotomia público/privado, analisando seus significados a partir de uma perspectiva de gênero. A ausência de reflexão sobre o gênero - especialmente sob duas formas, a negligência à realidade política das relações familiares e a linguagem 'neutra' - tem levado muitos teóricos, do passado e do presente, a reafirmar essa dicotomia sem levar em conta sua natur…
Forty acres and a mule’ for women
This article assesses the development of Rawls’s thinking in response to a generation of feminist critique. Two principle criticisms are sustainable throughout his work: first, that the family, as a basic institution of society, must be subject to the principles of justice if its members are to be free and equal members of society; and, second, that without such social and political equality, justice as fairness is as meaningful to women as the u…

Part 1. Is Multiculturalism Bad forWomen?
Is Multiculturalism Bad for Women?
Polygamy, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, punishing women for being raped, differential access for men and women to health care and education, unequal rights of ownership, assembly, and political participation, unequal vulnerability to violence. These practices and conditions are standard in some parts of the world. Do demands for multiculturalism--and certain minority group rights in particular--make them more likely to continue and …
Is Multiculturalism Bad for Women
Feminism, Moral Development, and the Virtues
Focuses on the virtue ethics of Aristotle and of MacIntyre, and suggests three problems within virtue ethics for a feminist. Firstly, accounts of the virtues in themselves may not meet an expectation of equal concern and respect. Secondly, it may be assumed that women are incapable of truly 'human' virtue. Finally, there are problems with the claim that there is in virtue ethics something especially feminine.
Feminism, Women's Human Rights, and Cultural Differences
The recent global movement for women's human rights has achieved considerable re-thinking of human rights as previously understood. Since many of women's rights violations occur in the private sphere of family life, and are justified by appeals to cultural or religious norms, both families and cultures (including their religious aspects) have come under critical scrutiny.

Sexual Orientation, Gender, and Families
Throughout history, women and men have been seen as “opposites” in various respects. Examples from the writings of political theorists illustrate this point, while Virginia Woolf is shown to have departed radically from the general tendency to dichotomize sexual difference. Further, this “need” to dichotomize sexual differences contributes to anxiety about and stigmatization of homosexuality. As the social salience of gender becomes reduced, it i…

Taking the Bishops Seriously
The U.S. Catholic bishops' pastoral letter on war and peace argues that nuclear deterrence is conditionally morally acceptable. Their concluding message is therefore not an exhortation to nuclear pacifism. The author argues, first, that the bishops' conditional moral acceptance of deterrence does not follow from their premises and the evidence presented to them; second, that this justification of deterrence, even if consistently arrived at, does …

The Soveraign and His Counsellours
FTER THE RESTORATION and toward the end of Hobbes's life, he wrote a work entitled A Dialogue between a Philosopher and a Student of the Common Laws of England. Unlike Behemoth, his generally ultraroyalist history of the civil war, the Dialogue was not submitted to the king to be vetted for publication. Indeed, Hobbes left explicit instructions that it was not to be published, and a note to the effect that the end of it was imperfect.' Both this …

The moral acceptability of nuclear deterrence
Theorists within the just war tradition of ethics differ in their conclusions about nuclear warfare and nuclear deterrence. This paper examines three arguments for the conditional moral acceptability of nuclear deterrence—those of the U.S. National Conference of Catholic Bishops in their pastoral letter, of J. Bryan Hehir, and of Michael Walzer—and argues that none of the three constitutes intellectually compelling and practically useful moral ad…

Patriarchy and Married Women's Property in England
THE AUTHORS OF SEVERAL RECENT IMPORTANT HISTORIES of the family agree that the sentimental nuclear family of Western society is a development of the last three centuries.' They argue that the family type that prevailed in earlier, more traditional times was founded almost entirely on economic or other pragmatic considerations, that it was characterized by formality and distance rather than by love, psychological commitment, or intimacy, and that,…

Reason and Feeling in Thinking about Justice
Justice, Gender, and the Family
In the first feminist critique of modern political theory, Okin shows how the failure to apply theories of justice to the family not only undermines our most cherished democratic values but has led to a major crisis over gender-related issues.
