The Generalized and the Concrete Other: The Kohlberg-Gilligan Controvers and Feminist Theory

Summary/Abstract: Can there be a feminist contribution to moral philosophy? That is to say, can those men and women who view the gender-sex system of our societies as oppressive, and who regard women’s emancipation as essential to human liberation, criticize, analyze, and when necessary, replace the traditional categories of moral philosophy such as to contribute to women’s emancipation and human liberation? By focusing on the controversy generated by Carol Gilligan’s work, this essay seeks to outline such a feminist contribution to moral philosophy.
