      abstract = {The book explores the gendered reality of learning  philosophy at the university level, investigating the ways  in which women and minority students become alienated from  the social practices of a male-dominated field, and  examining pedagogical solutions to this problem. It covers  the roles and the interactions of the professor and student  in the following ways: (1) the historical situation, (2)  the affective, social and bodily situation, and (3) the  moral situation. This text analyzes women's passion for  philosophy as a quest for truth, as well as their partial  alienation from the social practices of philosophy. It  demonstrates that recognition, generosity, and care are  central ingredients of good learning and teaching  experiences. Providing case studies of experimental courses  in philosophy, the book discusses a variety of pedagogical  approaches that might increase the inclusiveness of a  philosophical education: novel and more gender-balanced  ways of interpreting the history of philosophy,  problem-based learning as a means of emancipating the  student from the traditional master-disciple relationship,  body awareness practices as a way of challenging the  "disembodying" tendencies of philosophy, and a pluralism of  methods to address the needs of different kinds of  learners. Thanks to these features, the book is  particularly useful for philosophy professors at the  university level, but it also provides insights for all  readers who feel puzzled about the persistent  underrepresentation of women in philosophy.},
