Conversations with History: Martha Nussbaum

Sounds to me like she is trying to rationalize religious dogmas through a prism of feminism. I don't think the two are reconcilable. Religion always has been and always will be hostile to women. She has death fears and is embracing religion, which is not compatible with her feminist idenity. The dissonance of those two competing ideologies must be draining to reconcile. Most middle aged women become religious, and become more and more so as they age.

Nussbaum is a analytic old prig.

That's way more leg than I've ever seen any professor show!

In general, American "experts" are fools. Smart Americans are in law, business and science. University achieve fame due to its scientists. Fools like Martha Nussbaum ride on the coattails of scientists.

How can an expert say that Gandhi introduced village councils? She is clearly INFERIOR. I guess Sen didnt think she was suitable for marriage. By her own theory, she is sexually frustrated.

Nussbaum's real name is Craven but she claims she is a Jew so that she can get the intellectual tag.

RationalEmotive, you are too stupid - so now you say that Gandhi invented village councils in India? And you believe that Mrs. Nussbaum's claim that ALL Indian men are prone to violence because they are sexually repressed is the soundest psychological theory! You also think that Mrs. Nussbaum accepting Yahweh as the one and only god and jumping naked into a tub of water with four males watching her as witnesses (conversion ceremony) is intelligent? Nussbaum benefited from affirmative action.

As demonstrated in my earlier comments, she has low IQ. Gandhi did not invent village councils. Not only that, Mrs. Nussbaum is a proponent of the Aryan Invasion Theory which has the basic premise that all of us are descended from one of the sons of Noah. She foolishly memorized this theory without knowing the basic premise which is well documented. Her sexual relationship with Amartya Sen but no marriage made her sexually frustrated (by her own theory) and so she is hateful towards Indians.

23:01 - 35:16 Her feminist view on religion, especially in India.

35:16 - 39:14 Law as an avenue of social change for feminism in America vs India.

39:14 - 44:41 Freedom of religion in USA. Separation of church and state doesn't necessarily mean religion is being marginalised in the social sphere.."Any (school) prayer you choose is going to include some and exclude others."

We should talk of equality, not separation."We don't want to have a state which burdens religion...or favours religion."
