DESCRIPTION
This course studies the exclusionary effects of the Western philosophical canon, as well as efforts to repair them. Female thinkers tend to be excluded in the entire history of Western philosophy. Definitions of reason and freedom that originate in Enlightenment philosophy had the effect to increasingly also exclude non-Western philosophies, through racial and racist thinking. This course will draw attention to the underrepresentation and lack of diversity that go hand in hand with the philosophical canon. By incorporating works of philosophers belonging to typically underrepresented groups, a critical perspective will be developed regarding the implicit and explicit biases in philosophy.
