Author : Judith Butler

Judith Butler is a prominent American post-structuralist and feminist philosopher renowned for her influential contributions to feminism, queer theory, political philosophy, and ethics. Currently serving as a professor in the Rhetoric and Comparative Literature departments at the University of California, Berkeley, Butler earned their Ph.D. in philosophy from Yale University in 1984, with a dissertation later published as "Subjects of Desire: Hegelian Reflections in Twentieth-Century France." In the late 1980s, they were actively involved in challenging the foundational assumptions of traditional feminist theory. Butler's extensive research encompasses literary theory, modern philosophical fiction, feminist and sexuality studies, as well as 19th- and 20th-century European literature. Their recent work delves into Jewish philosophy, investigating pre- and post-Zionist critiques of state violence.
