Louise Antony's broadly interdisciplinary work brings a naturalistic perspective to philosophical issues of both theoretical and practical importance and center on a key theme--whether, and how, facts about human embodiment ought to constrain philosophical theories. Through a unique philosophical lens, she addresses issues of both theoretical and practical interest: for example, is pornography "hate speech" against women? What is it for scientists, professors and reporters to be "objective"? Is there such a thing as "human nature," and if there is, what are the implications for gender equality? Known for her work in philosophy of mind, theory of knowledge, and feminism, Antony approaches these and other issues with unusual rigor, passion, and wit. This volume showcases Antony's influential contributions to feminist and analytic philosophy, epistemology, and the philosophy of mind.
