Important strides have been made in understanding the pathophysiologic basis of many inflammatory conditions in recent years, but rheumatology remains a discipline in which diagnosis is rooted in the medical history skillfully extracted from the patient, the careful physical examination, and the discriminating use of laboratory tests and imaging. Moreover, selection of the most appropriate therapy for patients with rheumatic diseases also remains heavily reliant upon clinical experience.

This twenty-first century volume on feminist topics in philosophy of religion seeks to maintain such vitality. The basic premise is that old models of God, of relations between human and divine, and between gendered subjects, will no longer ‘simply do’ for feminist philosophers. The volume will sketch possibilities for feminist philosophy of religion in relation to the creation of sacred space, including the divine in everyday life and the sacred as vocation. Contributors to this volume critically engage with a range of western philosophers including Immanuel Kant, Søren Kierkegaard, Karl Marx, Hannah Arendt, Iris Murdoch, Martin Heidegger, Simone Weil, Simone de Beauvoir, Emmanuel Levinas, Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, Michele Le Doeuff, bell hooks, Judith Butler and Grace M. Jantzen. SELLING POINTS:Reflects the vital field of feminist philosophy of religion with new input and new voices from scholars critically engaged with the rich traditions of the field Addresses the feminist struggle with and beyond oppressive aspects of God, especially gender specific conceptions of the divine Goes into the question of how ethnic, racial, sexual, social and material differences can lead to more just configurations of religion and the divine Includes both Western non-Western feminist philosophy of religion MARKET:Students, Philosophers SUBJECTS:Philosophy of Religion; Philosophy LOCATION IN BOOKSTORE:Philosophy RELATED TITLES:Long, Issues in Contemporary Philosophy of Religion (978-1-4020-0167-3, 2002, $109) Hackett, Philosophy of Religion for a New Century (978-1-4020-2073-5, 2004, $154) COMPETITION:Anderson, Feminist Philosophy of Religion (Routledge, 0415257506, 2003, $44.95) Anderson, A Feminist Philosophy of Religion (Wiley-Blackwell, 0631193839, 1997, $34.95)Philosophy Feminist Epistemology and Philosophy of Science: Power in Knowledge
Having enjoyed more than twenty years of development, feminist epistemology and philosophy of science are now thriving fields of inquiry, offering current scholars a rich tradition from which to draw. In addition to a recognition of the power of knowledge itself and its effects on women’s lives, a central feature of feminist epistemology and philosophy of science has been the attention they draw to the role of power dynamics within knowledge-seeking practices and the implications of these dynamics for our understandings of knowledge, science, and epistemology. Feminist Epistemology and Philosophy of Science: Power in Knowledge collects new works that address today’s key challenges for a power-sensitive feminist approach to questions of knowledge and scientific practice. The essays build upon established work in feminist epistemology and philosophy of science, offering new developments in the fields, and representing the broad array of the feminist work now being done and the many ways in which feminists incorporate power dynamics into their analyses. SELLING POINTS:Third generation feminist work on today's key challenges for a power-sensitive feminist approach to questions of knowledge and scientific practice Goes beyond the classic divisions of feminist empiricism, feminist standpoint theory, and feminist postmodernism, offering new interpretations and new applications of these approaches Includes a contribution from feminist epistemology pioneer Sandra Harding MARKET:Students, Philosophers SUBJECTS:Epistemology; Philosophy of Science; Philosophy LOCATION IN BOOKSTORE:Philosophy RELATED TITLES:Harding, Discovering Reality, (978-1-4020-1318-8, 2005, $135) Nelson, Feminism, Science, and the Philosophy of Science (978-0-7923-4162-8, 1996, $149) COMPETITION:Duran, Philosophies Of Science: Feminist Theories (Westview Press, 0813333253, 1997, $38) Haely, Objectivity in the Feminist Philosophy of Science (Continuum, 0826499546, 2008, $130)Philosophy Feminist Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art: The Power of Critical Visions and Creative Engagement EDITOR:Lisa Ryan Musgrave, Rollins College, Winter Park, FL, USAISBN-13:978-1-4020-6836-2PAGES/ILLUS:approx. 290 p., 20 illus., 10 in color, HardcoverPRICE:approx. $189.00AVAILABLE (US):June 2009 While much feminist philosophy is enjoying third- and fourth-wave developments and can build on its scholarly roots forged in the 1960’s and 1970’s, feminist contributions have taken what seems an exceptionally long time to break into the stubborn areas of aesthetics and philosophy of art. Some feminist scholars might reasonably consider aesthetics to be a back-burner issue: if we take feminism mainly to be a movement seeking equality and strategies to address social, economic, and political inequities, views on art practices or values have tended to seem less important than work in the sister area of feminist social and political theory. The truth is, however, that areas of aesthetic value, political value, ethical value¡ªeven scientific value and religious value¡ªintersect in meaningful and complex ways, both in practices of oppression and liberatory strategies. The authors in this volume explore the connections between these value spheres that are too often separated. Feminist Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art addresses this dearth in the field, and seeks to build on those prior foundational perspectives in feminist aesthetics/philosophy of art. SELLING POINTS:Gives insight in how gender matters to creative making and appreciation practices Addresses the question whether there is such a thing as feminist art A volume on third generation feminist aesthetics gathering work from scholars who have been able to both build on previous groundwork Includes both Western non-Western feminist aesthetics and philosophy of art MARKET:Students, Philosophers SUBJECTS:Aesthetics; Philosophy; Arts LOCATION IN BOOKSTORE:Philosophy RELATED TITLES:Alanen, Feminist Reflections on the History of Philosophy (978-1-4020-2488-7, 2004, $109) Fløistad, Volume 9: Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art (978-1-4020-5068-8, 2007, $159.95) COMPETITION:Korsmeyer, Gender and Aesthetics: An Introduction (Routledge, 0415266580, 2004, $99.95) Nye, Feminist Impact on the Arts and Sciences Series - Philosophy and Feminism (Twayne Publishers, 0805797785, 1995, $23.00)Philosophy Feminist History of Philosophy: The Recovery and Evaluation of Women's Philosophical Thought
Over the course of the past twenty-five years, feminist theory has had a forceful impact upon the history of Western philosophy. The present collection of essays has as its primary aim to evaluate past women’s published philosophical work, and to introduce readers to newly recovered female figures; the collection will also make contributions to the history of the philosophy of gender, and to the history of feminist social and political philosophy, insofar as the collection will discuss women’s views on these issues. The volume contains contributions by an international group of leading historians of philosophy and political thought, whose scholarship represents some of the very best work being done in North and Central America, Canada, Europe and Australia. SELLING POINTS:Makes a significant contribution to the creation of a critical history of the philosophy of gender Gives an account the recovery and re-evaluation of women's philosophical writing since Christine de Pizan Introduces newly recovered female figures in history of philosophy of gender, and history of feminist social and political philosophy Brings together the work of an international group of leading historians of philosophy and political thought MARKET:Students, Philosophers SUBJECTS:History of Philosophy; Philosophy LOCATION IN BOOKSTORE:Philosophy RELATED TITLES:Harding, Discovering Reality, (978-1-4020-1318-8, 2005, $135) Alanen, Feminist Reflections on the History of Philosophy (978-1-4020-2488-7, 2004, $109 COMPETITION:Korsmeyer, Gender and Aesthetics: An Introduction (Routledge, 0415266580, 2004, $99.95) Haely, Objectivity in the Feminist Philosophy of Science (Continuum, 0826499546, 2008, $130)Philosophy Feminist Ethics and Social and Political Philosophy: Theorizing the Non-Ideal
Feminist Ethics and Social and Political Philosophy: Theorizing the Non-Ideal will collect feminist essays that self-consciously develop non-idealizing approaches to either ethics or social and political philosophy (or both). Characterizing feminist ethics and social and political philosophy as marked by a tendency to be non-idealizing serves to thematize the volume while still allowing the essays to be diverse enough to adequately constitute a representation of current work in the fields of feminist ethics and social and political philosophy. Each of the essays collected in this volume will do at least one of two things, namely either a) serve as an instance of work that is rooted in actual, non-ideal conditions, and that, as such, is able to consider any of the many questions relevant to subordinated people; or b) reflect theoretically on the significance of non-idealizing as an approach to feminist ethics or social and political philosophy. SELLING POINTS:An up to date account of current work in the fields of feminist ethics and social and political philosophy Reflects on the significance of non-idealizing as an approach to feminist ethics or social and political philosophy Challenges traditional ethical frameworks by positing a moral subject who is affected by systems of oppression Addresses feminist issues in current global justice theories MARKET:Students, Philosophers SUBJECTS:Ethics; Political Philosophy; Philosophy LOCATION IN BOOKSTORE:Philosophy RELATED TITLES:Nelson, Feminism, Science, and the Philosophy of Science (978-0-7923-4162-8, 1996, $149) Alanen, Feminist Reflections on the History of Philosophy (978-1-4020-2488-7, 2004, $109 COMPETITION:Korsmeyer, Gender and Aesthetics: An Introduction (Routledge, 0415266580, 2004, $99.95) Friedman, Autonomy, Gender, Politics (OUP, 0195138511, 2003, $45.00)Physics/Astronomy Quantum Information Theory
