Abstract

Can feminism survive the postmodern critique of reason? Or are the emancipatory aspirations of feminists tied to the continuing viability of modernist forms of discourse? Recent feminist writing indicates that this question is central to the future offeminism as an emancipatory enterprise: in short, feminism is unthinkable without philosophy. Feminists seem to have two choices: stick with modernism or give up feminism. Are these the only choices available?
