	Topics in Feminism
		Feminism brings many things to philosophy including not only a variety of particular moral and political claims, but ways of asking and answering questions, constructive and critical dialogue with mainstream philosophical views and methods, and new topics of inquiry.
		Although the term "feminism" in English is rooted in the mobilization for woman suffrage in Europe and the US during the late 19th and early 20th century, of course efforts to obtain justice for women did not begin or end with this period of activism.
		Philosophy presupposes interpretive tools for understanding our everyday lives; feminist work in articulating additional dimensions of experience and aspects of our practices is invaluable in demonstrating the bias in existing tools, and in the search for better ones.

	Aristotle's Logic
		The method presented in the Topics for classifying arguments relies on the presence in the conclusion of certain "common" terms (koina) -- common in the sense that they are not peculiar to any subject matter but may play a role in arguments about anything whatever.
		In Topics I.2, however, Aristotle says that the art of dialectic is useful in connection with "the philosophical sciences".
		One reason he gives for this follows closely on the refutative function: if we have subjected our opinions (and the opinions of our fellows, and of the wise) to a thorough refutative examination, we will be in a much better position to judge what is most likely true and false.
