Abstract- This paper explores the feminist critique of traditional Western philosophy, particularly its concept of reason. It investigates how feminist scholars challenge the historically gendered and exclusionary nature of philosophical reason, questioning its claims to universality and objectivity. By rethinking reason through a feminist lens, this study reveals how feminist epistemologies and methodologies contribute to more inclusive, situated, and embodied ways of knowing, transforming philosophical discourse and practice.
Keywords: Feminist Philosophy, Gender and Reason, Epistemic Injustice, Situated Knowledge, Feminist Epistemology.
