PHI 179 Women and Values

An examination of women's perspectives in areas reflecting values, including ethics, aesthetics and art, political and social theory, the law and religion. The course focuses on how women tend to perceive values differently than men and the contributions women make to value theory as well as the problems of interpretation and practice that these differences raise, e.g., regarding sexual harassment, pornography, or the value of attachment. Differences among women, especially cultural differences, will be explored throughout. Prerequisite: One lower division course in philosophy. GS-VBI or VB2, VI
