Sally Haslanger
Płeć i rasa są realne, ale to społeczne pozycje przewagi i upośledzenia – a filozofia powinna pytać, jakich pojęć potrzebujemy, by walczyć z niesprawiedliwością.

Haslanger revived ideology critique in the tradition going back to Marx, treating ideology as networks of social meanings that make unjust practices seem natural (‘Culture and Critique’, 2017). S.

Haslanger began in metaphysics, working on persistence through change and on Aristotle, and then brought its tools to feminist and critical race theory. “Gender and Race: (What) Are They? (What) Do We Want Them to Be?” distinguishes three kinds of inquiry into a concept: conceptual (what we take it to mean), descriptive (what it actually tracks) and “ameliorative” (which concept we should use, given our legitimate purposes). For the purpose of fighting injustice she proposes that to be a woman is to be systematically subordinated along some dimension and to be marked for this treatment by observed or imagined bodily features taken as evidence of a female role in reproduction; races are defined analogously by perceived ancestry and bodily features. Gender and race are thus real but socially constructed hierarchical positions, not natural kinds – and the feminist and anti-racist aim is a society in which they no longer exist in this form. Her later work on structural explanation and ideology argues that injustice often lies in social structures and practices rather than individual attitudes, so that critique must target the social meanings and schemas that sustain them. Critics, among them Katharine Jenkins, have asked whether her definition of “woman” can include trans women and women who are not subordinated, which opened a wide debate about ameliorative concepts.
