Feminism and the Mastery of Nature

Val Plumwood


Feminism and the Mastery of Nature draws on a feminist critique of reason to argue that the master form of rationality of western culture has been systematically unable to acknowledge depending on nature, the sphere of those it has constituted as ‘inferior’ other. Because its knowledge of the world is systematically distorted b the elite domination which has shaped its basic categories, the master rationality has blind spots which now threaten our survival.
