Publisher's Synopsis
While there is growing interest in feminist theory within philosophy of technology, this kind of work remains fledgling. There has been greater success in integrating a focus on issues of gender, as well as feminist commitments, in the related (and larger) fields of philosophy of science and STS. Postphenomenology's deeply-seated interdisciplinarity and pluralism helps to explain what, at least informally, appears to be a greater gender diversity and greater interest in feminist theory within the postphenomenological community of scholars. This volume aims to fill these gaps within the philosophy of technology. The featured chapters include a number of feminist perspectives, such as care ethics, feminist standpoint theory, black feminism, and feminist new materialism. This collection of essays offers a novel theoretical development of the combination of insights into feminist theory and postphenomenology.
