As the first collection of its kind, 'Feminist Philosophy of Mind' defines the content, scope, and methods of this emerging field. Each of its 20 chapters enlarges our understanding of the mind by considering the social contexts of minds. Topics pursued include personal identity, mental content, other minds, artificial intelligence, gender, race, sexual orientation, emotion, memory, perception, empathy, agency, trauma, embodiment, and others. Readers will discover new and expanded responses to timeless questions about the mind.

What makes us think, and what makes us think as feminists? In seeking to answer these questions, this paper draws on both Deleuze and Guattari's account of the creation of concepts, and feminist thought on feminist thinking, before suggesting with Levinas that our relation to ideas is primarily affective. Via further engagement with Levinas, I argue that it is the relation to the other which provokes and produces thought; models of autonomous theorizing are thereby supplanted by the teaching of the other.

This paper provides an overview of twenty years of feminist philosophy in Northamerka. The professionalization of feminist theory that has occurred through the mains treaming of feminist philosophy creates a danger of a gap between theory and practice that creates the danger of co-optation. Three stages of feminist philosophizing are outlined, including the radical critique, gender difference and difference/post-modemist stages. The last stage, it is argued, leads to an conceptual impasse about feminist strategies for social change.
