Katrina Hutchison's work delves into the ethics of innovative surgical procedures and research, focusing on human agency and moral responsibility rooted in her prior investigations into free will. She also explores feminist philosophy, examining the positioning of women within the field. Furthermore, Hutchison investigates the broader role of philosophy beyond academia and its potential societal impact.
This book explores why professional philosophy remains predominantly male and argues that instead of women conforming to existing institutions, philosophy itself must change to fully benefit from women's contributions to the field.
