«Del miedo a la igualdad», philosophical essay by Amelia Valcárcel, published by Crítica in paperback (205 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from the fact that modern philosophers proclaimed equality while excluding women, slaves and the poor, Valcárcel asks whether freedom means anything without equality. She analyses the fear of this ideal, its perverse effects and the theoretical and practical deficit. From the feminist experience, she points out the hierarchies that sustain our ways of life.
The first edition dates from 1993; the work is framed within Spanish philosophical thought and the feminist debate of the late twentieth century.
For readers interested in political philosophy, feminist theory and the public debate on equality and freedom.
Amelia Valcárcel is a Spanish philosopher and feminist. She is considered within the "philosophic feminism" as part of the "equality feminism" approach. She has been a member of the Spanish Council of State since 2006, and has been a professor in Moral and Political Philosophy at the National University of Distance Education since 2015.
