Une histoire oubliée, un héritage prometteur

Retour sur 50 ans de recherches féministes

Abstract

In this text, the author presents the results of research into the history and legacy of feminist philosophy in Philosophiques from 1974 to the present day. The presentation is both historical and analytical. First, the author divides feminist research in Philosophiques into three main periods: the 1980s, 1990s and 2010s. This division is explained by their respective temporalities, as well as by the content and general objective pursued by their authors at these different moments. Next, the author looks at the institutional and theoretical reasons why feminist philosophy is still struggling to gain recognition for its full legitimacy and its own methods as a philosophical discipline. Finally, the author reflects on the various challenges the Philosophiques editorial board will have to face in order to confirm itself as a welcoming space for feminist philosophy in the French-speaking world.
