The present book contextualizes Du Châtelet’s contribution to
the philosophy of her time. The editor offers this tribute to an
Époque Émiliennee as a collection of innovative papers on Emilie
Du Châtelet’s powerful philosophy and legacy. Du Châtelet was
an outstanding figure in the era she lived in. Her work and
achievements were unique, though not an exception in the 18th
century, which did not lack outstanding women. Her personal
intellectual education, her scholarly network and her mental acumen
were celebrated in her time, perceiving her to have “multiplied
nine figures by nine figures in her head”. She was able to gain
access to institutions which were normally denied to women. To call
an epoch an Époque Émilienne may be seen as daring and audacious,
but it will not be the last time if we continue to bring women
philosophers back into the memory of the history of
philosophy. The contributors paid attention to the
philosophical state of the art, which forms the background to Du
Châtelet’s philosophy. They follow the transformation of
philosophical concepts under her pen and retrace the impact of her
ideas. The book is of interest to scholars working in the
history of philosophy as well as in gender studies. It is of
special interest for scholars working on the 18th century, Kant,
Leibniz, Wolff, Newton and the European Enlightenment.
