Siblings Under the Skin: Feminism, Social Justice and Analytic Philosophy (Critical Studies in the Humanities)

This work is a daring look ahead to a time when the affinity between social justice and analytic philosophy is assumed and used as a point of departure for innovative work. The collection begins with an historical essay detailing the relationship between the philosophy and socialism of Reichenbach and Neurath, two of the main members of the Vienna Circle from which much of analytic philosophy takes its cue. Essays by feminist philosophers of science, such as Lynn Hankinson Nelson, Hugh Lacey and other progressive writers, are paired with the essays in the analytic tradition that gave them inspiration, including selections from Quine, Davidson, Hempel, Sellars and Popper.
