This book sheds light on the originality and historical
significance of women's philosophical, moral, political and
scientific ideas in Italy and early modern Europe. Divided into
three sections, it starts by discussing the women philosophers'
engagement with the classical inheritance with regard to the works
of Moderata Fonte, Tullia d'Aragona and Anne Conway. The next
section examines the relationship between women philosophers and
the new philosophy of nature, focusing on the connections between
female thought and the new seventeenth- and eighteenth-century
science, and discussing the work of Camilla Erculiani, Margherita
Sarocchi, Margaret Cavendish, Mariangela Ardinghelli, Teresa
Ciceri, Candida Lena Perpenti, and Alessandro Volta. The final
section presents male philosophers' perspectives on the role of
women, discussing the place of women in the work of Giordano Bruno,
Poulain de la Barre and the theories of Hobbes and Rawls. By
exploring these women philosophers, writers and translators, the
book offers a re-examination of the early modern thinking of and
about women in Italy.
