and racism. The Bloomsbury Companion to Analytic Feminism presents the first comprehensive reference resource to the nature,
history and significance of this growing tradition and the forms of social discrimination widely covered in feminist writings.
Through individual sections on metaphysics, epistemology, and value theory, a team of esteemed philosophers examine the
relationship between analytic feminism and the main areas of philosophical reflection. Their engaging and original contributions explore
how analytic feminists define their concepts and use logic to support their claims. Each section provides concise overviews of the
main debates in feminist literature within that particular area of research, as well as introductions to each of the chapters. Together
with a glossary and an annotated bibliography, this companion features an overview of the basic tools used in reading analytic
philosophy. The result is an indepth
and authoritative guide to understanding analytic feminist’s characteristic methods.

In 1983, Putnam and Benacerraf raised this objection against all conventionalist accounts of mathematics. I discuss the 1979 version and the scenario argument, which supports the key premise of the objection. The wide applicability of this objection is not apparent; I thus raise it against an imaginary axiomatic theory T similar to Peano arithmetic in all relevant aspects. I argue that a conventionalist can explain the consistency of T and suggest that an analogous explanation can be provided for the consistency of Peano arithmetic

I then look at some of Gottlob Frege’s reflections on negation in one of his later Logical Investigations. It will appear clear that Frege’s notion of negation is not easily pegged in the general category of ‘Otherness’ that Plumwood uses to characterize negation in classical logic. In the second half of the paper, I discuss the claim that the adversarial method of argumentation in philosophy is hostile to feminist goals and perhaps responsible for the low numbers of women engaged in academic philosophy. Against this hypothesis, I claim that a more naturalistic perspective on logic can avoid essentialism and provide a feminist friendly and pluralist view of logic, human reasoning, and philosophical argumentation.

The first topic is the importance of logical symbolism; I focus primarily on remarks by Frege in Begriffsschrift (1879) and other early writings and on Russell’s lectures on The Philosophy of Logical Atomism (1918), respectively. I argue that while Russell’s main concerns were the capacity of symbols to “fit” and adequately represent the components and structure of the symbolized reality, Frege’s concerns were focused on the relationships between symbols and the conceptual or informational content they symbolize and on the power of symbolic expressions in engendering the grasping of their contents. The second theme focuses on the thesis supported by both Russell and Frege that the composition of linguistic expressions representing Russellian facts or Fregean thoughts, respectively, corresponds to the complexity of the thoughts and facts that those linguistic expressions repres...
