This 2004 book was the first intellectual biography of one of the
very first English women philosophers. At a time when very few
women received more than basic education, Lady Anne Conway wrote an
original treatise of philosophy, her Principles of the Most Ancient
and Modern Philosophy, which challenged the major philosophers of
her day - Descartes, Hobbes and Spinoza. Sarah Hutton's study
places Anne Conway in her historical and philosophical context, by
reconstructing her social and intellectual milieu. She traces her
intellectual development in relation to friends and associates such
as Henry More, Sir John Finch, F. M. van Helmont, Robert Boyle and
George Keith. And she documents Conway's debt to Cambridge
Platonism and her interest in religion - an interest which extended
beyond Christian orthodoxy to Quakerism, Judaism and Islam. Her
book offers an insight into both the personal life of a very
private woman, and the richness of seventeenth-century intellectual
culture.
