Feminist Ethics: An Introduction to Fundamental Concepts and Current Issues provides a valuable entry point into one of the most dynamic areas of contemporary philosophy. Moving beyond the rigid boundaries of a canon shaped almost exclusively by white, male thinkers, this volume highlights how feminist ethics rethinks and redefines traditional approaches to moral theory, and helps us navigate pressing questions of our time. Engaging with both theory and praxis, this coursebook features 17 clear and accessible chapters, written by emerging and leading scholars, and appearing in print here for the first time. The chapters: Investigate fundamental approaches to ethics (Kantian ethics, utilitarianism, the ethics of care, Confucianism, ecofeminism, transnational feminism) Propose novel reflections on methodologies, agency, and universalism Offer insights into understanding our bodies, emotions, gender norms, and harmful speech Suggest new ways of thinking about the ethical issues raised by ectogestation, AI, digital discourse, and the unique intersection of sex work and disability Each chapter concludes with discussion questions and suggestions for further reading, and a glossary is included at the back of the book. The volume constitutes an excellent introduction to the richness and depth of feminist ethics for introductory and advanced students.
