SPRINGERBRIEFS IN PHILOSOPHY SISTERS OF THE B...

This open access book explores the gendered reality of learning philosophy at the university
level  investigating the ways in which women and minority students become alienated from the
social practices of a male-dominated field  and examining pedagogical solutions to this
problem. It covers the roles and the interactions of the professor and student in the following
ways: (1) the historical situation  (2) the affective  social and bodily situation  and (3) the
moral situation.This text analyzes women's passion for philosophy as a quest for truth  as well
as their partial alienation from the social practices of philosophy. It demonstrates that
recognition  generosity  and care are central ingredients of good learning and teaching
experiences. Providing case studies of experimental courses in philosophy  the book discusses a
variety of pedagogical approaches that might increase the inclusiveness of a philosophical
education: novel and more gender-balanced ways of interpreting the history of philosophy 
problem-based learning as a means of emancipating the student from the traditional
master-disciple relationship  body awareness practices as a way of challenging the disembodying
tendencies of philosophy  and a pluralism of methods to address the needs of different kinds of
learners. Thanks to these features  the book is particularly useful for philosophy professors
at the university level  but it also provides insights for all readers who feel puzzled about
the persistent underrepresentation of women in philosophy.
