The long nineteenth-century-the period beginning with the French
Revolution and ending with World War I-was a transformative period
for women philosophers in German-speaking countries and contexts.
The period spans romanticism and idealism, socialism,
Nietzscheanism, and phenomenology, philosophical movements we most
often associate with Hegel, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche,
and Marx-but rarely with women. Yet women philosophers not only
contributed to these movements, but also spearheaded debates about
their social and political implications. While today their works
are less well-known than those of their male contemporaries, many
of these women philosophers were widely-read and influential in
their own time. Their contributions shed important new light on
nineteenth-century philosophy and philosophy more generally:
revealing the extent to which various movements which we consider
distinct were joined, and demonstrating the degree to which
philosophy can transform lives and be transformed by lived
experiences and practices. In the nineteenth century, women
philosophers explored a wide range of philosophical topics and
styles. Working within and in dialogue with popular philosophical
movements, women philosophers helped shape philosophy's agenda and
provided unique approaches to existential, political, aesthetic,
and epistemological questions. Though largely deprived formal
education and academic positions, women thinkers developed a way of
philosophizing that was accessible, intuitive, and activist in
spirit. The present volume makes available to English-language
readers-in many cases for the first time-the works of nine women
philosophers, with the hope of stimulating further interest in and
scholarship on their works. The volume includes a comprehensive
introduction to women philosophers in the nineteenth century and
introduces each philosopher and her position. The translations are
furnished with explanatory footnotes. The volume is designed to be
accessible to students as well as scholars.
