ABSTRACT
In ‘Cognition as a Social Skill’, Sally Haslanger enhances her theory of oppression with new concepts: ‘mindshaping,’ ‘doxa,’ ‘heterodoxy,’ and ‘hidden transcripts.’ This essay examines these new concepts and, in particular, ‘mindshaping.’ I argue that they are mixed blessings. In the process, I explore what it means to do feminist theory and raise a series of worries about the lack of attention to embodied experience in Haslanger’s work.
