    Haslanger
    Her book Resisting Reality : Social Construction and Social Critique
    (Oxford 2012) received the Joseph B. Gittler Award for outstanding
    scholarly work in the philosophy of one or more of the social sciences.
    She has co-edited three volumes: Adoption Matters: Philosophical
    and Feminist Essays,with Charlotte Witt, Theorizing Feminisms, with

    philosophy each year. In 2010, Haslanger was named the Distinguished
    Woman Philosopher of the Year by the Society of Women in Philosophy.

    In these Spinoza Lectures, collectively titled 'Critical Theory and


    Practice', Sally Haslanger engages with the topic of critical theory and
    ideology. In the first lecture, Haslanger addresses the ideologically
    governed nature of social life. She discusses how ideology works
    through social practices that engage, produce, and reproduce the
    material world. The lecture examines ways in which ideology is
    dependent on the objectivity and the materiality of the social world,
    and the implications of this for social change . The second lecture starts
    with the observation that our societies and practices are unjust and
    the proper objects of moral scrutiny and moral criticism . However,
    certain traditions of ideology critique resist normative, especially
    moral , commitments. By examining the workings of race and gender
    ideology, Haslanger challenges the critical tradition of relying
    entirely on contradiction to ground immanent critique and explores
    alternative contextualist and naturalist options for social critique .
