Butler
Who argues the Enlightenment ideas of reason and progress are just a discourse which were used to justify the domination of white, Western, middle-class males. For example, the philosophers and politicians who spoke about fundamental human rights such as ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’ (stated in the US Declaration of Independence in 1776) were really just referring to the rights of white men (when the US constitution was established women had no property or political rights, and slavery was written into the constitution)?
