philoSOPHIA:  A Journal of Continental Feminism

 

Considered to be the feminine aspect of God, Sophia, in her fall from grace, was also mythologized as the origin of the material world.  Feminist philosophy has committed itself to rescuscitating and transforming the traditional imagery and symbolic of the feminine; in particular, Continental philosophers such as Irigaray, Kristeva, Beauvoir, Cixous, Le Doeuff, and Arendt, have opened up theoretical discourse on the relation of the feminine to nature, the body, language, and subjectivity. Both independently and in relation to other philosophers, such as Derrida, Foucault, Deleuze, Lyotard, Nietzsche, Hegel, Kant, Lacan, Freud, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty, the field of ‘Continental Feminism’ has provided the resources for reconceptualizing the historical legacy of European philosophy.  The journal philoSOPHIA intends to provide a forum for publishing feminist scholarship that draws upon and is inspired by this Continental tradition in philosophy.  philoSOPHIA aims to represent the best in feminist Continental philosophy, thus filling a lacuna in the publishing world.
