There have been many different historical-intellectual accounts of
the shaping and development of concepts of liberty in
pre-Enlightenment Europe. This volume is unique for addressing the
subject of liberty principally as it is discussed in the writings
of women philosophers, and as it is theorized with respect to women
and their lives, during this period. The volume covers ethical,
political, metaphysical, and religious notions of liberty, with
some chapters discussing women's ideas about the metaphysics of
free will, and others examining the topic of women's freedom (or
lack thereof) in their moral and personal lives as well as in the
public socio-political domain. In some cases, these topics are
situated in relation to the emergence of the concept of autonomy in
the late eighteenth century, and in others, with respect to recent
feminist theorizing about relational autonomy and internalized
oppression. Many of the chapters draw upon a wide range of genres,
including polemical texts, poetry, plays, and other forms of
fiction, as well as standard philosophical treatises. Taken as a
whole, this volume shows how crucial it is to recover the too-long
forgotten views of female and women-friendly male philosophers of
the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In the process of
recovering these voices, our understanding of philosophy in the
early modern period is not only expanded, but also significantly
enhanced, toward a more accurate and gender-inclusive history of
our discipline.
