Write an Essay That Argues for or Against the Viewpoint

question 60

Essay

Write an essay that argues for or against the viewpoint that patriarchy (rule by men), sexism, and/or racism have been institutionalized in Western philosophy and culture.   To do this successfully, you will need to argue for or against the existence of a pervasive bias that permeates the thinking of all members of a society and distorts its language and view of the world. In your discussion, do not limit yourself to generalities but give specific examples from specific philosophers we have studied to illustrate how (for example)an emphasis on the superiority of reason over emotion appears to denigrate women, who tend to be more closely identified with emotion. You will probably want to turn back to earlier discussions of philosophical theories for illustrations.
