An important thinker who contributed to eighteenth-century debates
in epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics, Catharine Trotter
Cockburn pursued the life of a dramatist and essayist, despite the
prevailing social, cultural, and moral prescriptions of her day.
Cockburn's philosophical writings were polemical pieces in defence
of such philosophers as John Locke and Samuel Clarke, in which she
grappled with the moral and theological questions that concerned
them and produced her own unique answers to those questions. Her
works are interesting both for their approach to philosophical
issues that continue to be debated today and for the way that they
inform our understanding of the early-modern period.
