Abstract

The Economic and Feminist approaches to law are often viewed as opposing each other, with some descriptions using much stronger words. In this paper I argue that the supposed contradictions between the schools of thought rely on a narrow reading of each. After reviewing strands within each broad approach, I show that they complement each other, one offering deductive reasoning, and the other - inductive. The contentious issue of objectivity in each is assessed, and a definition of 'strong objectivity' offered, which disciples of both approaches may be able to accept. [Hebrew].
