Cheshire Calhoun Views

• Books

The book is divided into six sections: an ethics for ordinary life and vulnerable persons (Marcia Homiak, Elizabeth Spelman, Virginia Held, Martha Nussbaum); what we ought to do for each other (Barbara Herman, Susan Wolf, Cheshire Calhoun); the normative importance of a shared social world (Margaret Walker, Claudia Card, Annette Baier); achieving adequate moral understandings (Robin Dillon, Marilyn Friedman, Alison Jaggar, Michele Moody-Adams); the dramatic and narrative form of deliberation and agency (Amelie Rorty, Diana Meyers); and emotions, reason, and unreason (Christine Korsgaard, Karen Jones, Marcia Baron). I am able to address only one representative paper in each section, tying it in with themes that Calhoun takes to be illustrative of women’s philosophy. Any moral philosopher would benefit from reading the other extremely rich, insightful, and interesting papers.

By Gerry Boyle '78 Cheshire Calhoun with one of her horses, Picasso Cheshire Calhoun once considered studying biology, following in the scientific footsteps of her accomplished psychologist father, the late John B. Calhoun. Biology gave way to music, as the younger Calhoun, a serious musician, enrolled at Northwestern to study with a noted oboist. But while at Northwestern, Calhoun followed her academic muse once (and only once) more, this time into the realm of philosophy.
