- Description
- The anthology examines the philosophical underpinnings of claims about the meaning/s and consequences of changing one’s sex or gender. These consequences often have metaphysical, epistemological, ontological and moral dimensions. The collection brings together discussions by feminist philosophers on the relationship between mind and body, the status of self-knowledge, and ways to distinguish objective from merely subjective truths, reality from illusion or rational from irrational. A primary aim of the collection is to promote mutual understanding among feminist, lesbian, queer, trans and intersex theorists and activists.
