Fiona Jenkins delves into crucial questions of political legitimacy, violence, and non-violence within post-national frameworks. Her work interrogates contemporary French philosophy and Nietzschean thought, focusing on realism, the revaluation of values, and self-representation. Jenkins explores how these philosophical concepts apply to modern democratic theories and cinematic narratives. Her approach illuminates the complex interplay between philosophy, politics, and societal justice.
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.
