Jane addams's social thought as a model for a pragmatist-feminist communitarianism
Hypatia 19 (2):118-133 (2004)
| Abstract | This paper argues that communitarian philosophy can be an important philosophic resource for feminist thinkers, particularly when considered in the light of Jane Addams's (1860-1935) feminist-pragmatism. Addams's communitarianism requires progressive change as well as a moral duty to seek out diverse voices. Contrary to some contemporary communitarians, Addams extends her concept of community to include interdependent global communities, such as the global community of women peace workers. | |||||||||
