Added by: Veronica CibotaruAbstract:
This paper puts forth a functionalist difficulty for Sally Haslanger’s proposal for engineering our concept of ‘woman.’ It is argued that the project of bringing about better political function fulfillment cannot get off the ground in virtue of epistemic failure.
Comment: This is a useful resource for students who wish to engage more deeply with Haslanger's proposal to engineer our concept of 'woman' and explore a critical perspective. At the same time, the text remains accessible to students who are less familiar with Haslanger's theory.
