This is excellent news for the beginning of the school, has published a textbook History of Philosophy for the Bachelor of adding new knowledge from the gender college explaining the issues own such manuals. It is the work of Amalia Gonzalez Suarez entitled Women, men and philosophy. History of Philosophy (ed. octahedron, Barcelona, \u200b\u200b2009). Philosophy usually speaks of man but even if it is assumed that this refers to man (anthropos ) and not the man (aner ), the reality is that few times the concept of man has in mind women as object of reflection is not sexist or as a subject of philosophical discourse. For example, how many textbooks do make reference to the capital work of John Stuart Mill Subjection women to demand equal rights for women and was one of the philosophical basis of suffrage and women obtained the vote? How many thinkers are usually named in the textbooks?
In the seventeenth century, the philosopher Poulain de la Barre stated in his work on gender equality : "The philosophers have taken their prejudices to schools and they have not learned anything that might help to shed them. They are not told a word about the sexes, is supposed to already know enough. " Today, philosophy, to be critical, is reviewing and correcting the gender bias that has plagued as part of a culture that has excluded and women traditionally undervalued. As stated by the philosopher Amelia Valcárcel in his Foreword to this new History of Philosophy: "The question who and what we , since we know something of our history, past answer how we got here . humanity studies his past, but knows it is not something inert, in fact is one of the objects of study that most change. For each new look will find in it things that others had overlooked relevant "
Member of research group Celia Amorós Amalia González Suárez shows his experience as a teacher in middle school very clear exposition of this book is very educational at the same time precise.
