This richly interdisciplinary collection of essays introduces a new wealth of feminist thought on wide-ranging intellectual, cultural and social issues. Its integration of recent seminal work in moral development and education awakens fresh ways of perceiving, interpreting and analyzing the traditional «old world» inhabited by the humanities and social sciences. As a result, the reader is challenged to investigate and re-evaluate long «approved» and «established» maps of history, philosophy, psychology and sociology. It is hoped that through a synthesis of these new learnings, a more profoundly habitable world for both women and men may emerge.
