Title Statements

Full title :Women philosophers / edited by Mary Warnock.

Summary

"This exciting book brings together four hundred years of women's philosophical writing, representing famous thinkers from Wollstonecraft and Martineau to De Beauvoir and Murdoch and giving voice to a host of less celebrated - but equally significant - figures. The scope and ambition of their collective enterprise is astonishing, ranging far beyond narrowly defined 'women's issues' to the most fundamental questions of being and ethics, the most challenging problems of language and identity." "Often surprising, always stimulating, Women Philosophers' restores women to their rightful place at the very heart of the philosophical debate. More than this, it raises the intriguing question of whether there has been - whether there ever can be - any such thing as a distinctively 'feminine' philosophy."--Jacket
