This book promotes the research of present-day women working in
ancient and medieval philosophy, with more than 60 women having
contributed in some way to the volume in a fruitful collaboration.
It contains 22 papers organized into ten distinct parts spanning
the sixth century BCE to the fifteenth century CE. Each part has
the same structure: it features, first, a paper which sets up the
discussion, and then, one or two responses that open new
perspectives and engage in further reflections. Our authors'
contributions address pivotal moments and players in the history of
philosophy: women philosophers in antiquity, Cleobulina of Rhodes,
Plato, Lucretius, Bardaisan of Edessa, Alexander of Aphrodisias,
Plotinus, Porphyry, Peter Abelard, Robert Kilwardby, William
Ockham, John Buridan, and Isotta Nogarola. The result is a
thought-provoking collection of papers that will be of interest to
historians of philosophy from all horizons. Far from being an
isolated effort, this book is a contribution to the ever-growing
number of initiatives which endeavour to showcase the work of women
in philosophy.
