Judith Butler

February 24, 1956

Judith Butler is an influential post-structuralist and feminist philosopher whose work spans feminism, queer theory, political philosophy, and ethics. Her scholarship delves into literary theory, modern philosophical fiction, and sexuality studies. Butler also explores 19th- and 20th-century European literature and philosophy, Kafka, and themes of loss, mourning, and war. More recent work engages with Jewish philosophy and critiques of state violence.
