Michèle Le Doeuff : operative philosophy and imaginary practice

This collection of essays deals with four themes - the connections between philosophy and the history of philosophy, feminism, and political change; the creation of a domain of imagery to sustain the ideas and arguments of philosophy; the problem of making oneself "at home" in philosophy; and concepts of the "self" and the "subject".Introduction / Max Deutscher -- Pt. 1.
