If this were the case, I would agree that we could merely treat these passages and comments critically in order to render them innocuous. Instead, as some feminist philosophers have argued, the sexism of Rousseau, Kant, and Aristotle actually provides some of the theoretical underpinning of their philosophy itself. The problem of sexism in the canon runs too deep to be exorcized by simply recognizing it in a critical manner.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B31013B9-AFDF-4604-B4F3-6DD2B37B5E5D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
