The purpose of this paper is to put feminism in relation to modernism and postmodernism in order to present a general understanding of feminist moral reasoning. In other words I have no intention of weighting the pros and cons of each strategy but simply to describe their relationship with each other and hence enable a comprehension of feminist moral discussions. I have chosen to emphasise moral ideas associated with the concrete- and generalised other in this investigation seeing that they widen a superseded moral definition by adding qualities generally defined as traditionally female.
