UH West O‘ahu Associate Professor Li-Hsiang Lisa Rosenlee recently published an article in the American Philosophical Association (APA) newsletter titled “What is the Use of Philosophy in General and Asian Philosophy in Particular to Feminism?”
In her essay, Rosenlee poses various questions including “Is philosophy useful?”, “Why study Asian philosophy?” and “What do all these have to do with feminism?” She discusses whether it is possible to be both a Confucian and a feminist at the same time and the choice of transcendence as it relates to Western and Asian phallocentric philosophies.
