Abstract

Since the late 20th century, the gender gap in philosophy has received widespread attention from the academic community. Although research on this issue has made some initial progress in certain countries and has contributed to the implementation of relevant policies, gender gap in philosophy remains a global issue, particularly in East Asian countries. Therefore, further exploration of this topic remains necessary. This paper aims to establish a research agenda based on an analysis of existing studies to address the challenges and consequences of gender gap in philosophy. From a feminist perspective, I seek to explore the manifestations, roots, and impacts of gender gap, as well as various solutions, with a particular focus on ethics of care and intersectionality. By identifying the limitations of current research, I will also provide feasible suggestions for future studies to advance the in-depth exploration of gender equality in philosophy.
