Index
"Much of the history of western ethical thought has been composed of debates about
the bases of "the good life." It has typically been taken for granted that "the good
life" is achievable only by (certain) human beings. Feminists and Continental philosophers
have long challenged both the descriptive accuracy and the prescriptive hold of the
idea of the human life whose goodness is under discussion. Beyond the normative demands
implicit in the idea of the good life, or the properly human life, more and more philosophers
are now interrogating the question of life from within a broader frame. Feminist Philosophies
of Life signals the importance of distinctively feminist reflections upon matters
of shared concern among living beings. For many of the contributors to this volume,
it is not enough to expose the tendency of discourses to normalize and exclude differently-abled,
racialized, feminized, and gender nonconforming people, although this task remains
central. It is also necessary to ask what life is or how life is constituted. What
are the conditions under which life on earth is possible? To what extent do we share
the struggles and needs of other living beings? And what is it about living bodies
that enables them to develop in so-called "social" or "spiritual" ways? How, as feminist
philosophers, do we respond to the precarious existences of people experiencing disability,
prisoners, fetuses and pregnant women, murdered and missing indigenous women, and
of life itself on a planet that is rapidly being impacted by climate change?"
