Iddo Landau is Senior Lecturer of Philosophy at the University of Haifa.
“This fine book provides a carefully and closely argued critical
examination of the argument that philosophy is androcentric.
Treating both analytic and continental traditions, the book is
written clearly enough to be useful in undergraduate and graduate
courses, but it is also well worth reading by scholars in the
field.”—Sara Worley,Bowling Green State University
“‘Feminist philosophers’ will buy this book in great volume and
attack it with abandon because, in spite of principled objections
to the adversarial method, most ‘feminist philosophers’ in the
English-speaking world are real philosophers, trained in the
adversarial method, who, in spite of pious claims to the contrary,
really like beating up on people. This is red meat.”—Harriet
Baber,University of San Diego
“Iddo Landau has written a focused and clearly organized book in
which he investigates the extent to which Western philosophy is
androcentric.”—Sharon Crasnow Philosophy Reviews
