The work of women philosophers in the early modern period has
traditionally been overlooked, yet their writing on topics such as
reality, time, mind and matter holds valuable lessons for our
understanding of metaphysics and its history. This volume of new
essays explores the work of nine key female figures: Bathsua Makin,
Anna Maria van Schurman, Elisabeth of Bohemia, Margaret Cavendish,
Anne Conway, Damaris Cudworth Masham, Mary Astell, Catharine
Trotter Cockburn, and Emilie Du Chatelet. Investigating issues from
eternity to free will and from body to natural laws, the essays
uncover long-neglected perspectives and demonstrate their
importance for philosophical debates, both then and now. Combining
careful philosophical analysis with discussion of the intellectual
and historical context of each thinker, they will set the agenda
for future enquiry and will appeal to scholars and students of the
history of metaphysics, science, religion and feminism.
