Feminist Philosophy and the Genetic Fallacy
Hypatia 6 (2):104 - 117 (1991)
Abstract
Feminist philosophy seems to conflict with traditional philosophical methodology. For example, some uses of the concept of gender by feminist philosophers seem to commit the genetic fallacy. I argue that use of the concept of gender need not commit the genetic fallacy, but that the concept of gender is problematic on other grounds.Author's Profile
