PHILOSOPHICAL CANON IN THE CZECH UNIVERSITIES: FEMINIST CRITIQUE
PHILOSOPHICAL CANON IN THE CZECH UNIVERSITIES: FEMINIST CRITIQUE

Summary/Abstract: The author deals with the feminist critique of the philosophical canon, challenging the fact that there are no women included in it. The first part describes the strategies of feminist philosophers and the results of their research. In the main body of the text, the syllabuses of university courses, philosophy textbooks, surveys of the history of philosophy, and dictionaries available in the Czech language are analysed with the aim of mapping out the situation in the Czech Republic. On the basis of her findings, the author concludes that the Czech philosophical environment is only at the very beginning of the process of including women in the history of philosophy.
