This book explores contributions by some of the most influential
women in the history of philosophy, science, and literature.
Ranging from Sappho and Sophie Germain to Stebbing and Evelyn Fox
Keller, this work ultimately demonstrates the impact these
non-canonical, sometimes unknown or hidden, sources had, or may
have had, on the recognized male leaders in their fields, from
Aristotle to Pascal, Kant, Whitehead, and Russell. Chapters reflect
philosophical pluralism, both analytic and continental themes, and
cover figures reaching across the entire history of ideas in the
West, from pre-historic times to the twentieth century. Anyone
interested in coming to know or in preparing to teach women in the
history of philosophy, science, and literature will appreciate this
collection and its myriad insights into the still unrecognized
voices of non-canonical sources across these disciplines.
Climate Change across the Curriculum examines ways of thinking and
conveying information about climate change across university
curricula and within academic disciplines. The contributors provide
methods, strategies, rationales, and theoretical justifications for
teaching climate issues at the university level. The content of
this book aims to introduce climate change to classes outside of
the sciences, as it will take a wide range of disciplines, broader
institutional thinking, and experimentation to fully engage
university resources and knowledge toward the mitigation of fossil
fuel consumption and adaptation to the negative consequences of
climate change. Climate Change across the Curriculum encourages
professors to engage salient aspects of their academic disciplines
to the study of climate issues in the classroom, as well as sample
theories, practices, and resources from a wide range of academic
disciplines outside of their own areas of specialization. The
contributors ask: what role will higher education play in
addressing environmental challenges and producing students who
become professionals who accomplish work that solves these
problems?
This book is a contribution both to Aristotle studies and to the
philosophy of nature, and not only offers a thorough text based
account of time as modally potentiality in Aristotle's account, but
also clarifies the process of "actualizing time" as taking time and
looks at the implications of conceiving a world without actual
time. It speaks to the resurgence of interest in Aristotle's
natural philosophy and will become an important resource for anyone
interested in Aristotle's theory of time, of its relationship to
Aristotle's larger project in the Physics, and to time's place in
the broader scope of Aristotelian natural science. Graduate
students and scholars researching in this area especially will find
the authors arguments provocative, a welcome addition to other
recent publications on Aristotle's Treatise on Time.
