This book introduces methodological concepts aimed at including
women in the canon of the history of philosophy. The history of
women philosophers is as long and strong as the history of
philosophy, and this holds true not only for the European
tradition, as the research of women philosophers of the past shows.
The phenomenon of ignoring and excluding women in 19th and 20th
century views on the history of philosophy was a result of the
patriarchal tradition that ostracized women in general. In this
book, leading feminist philosophers discuss methodologies for
including women thinkers in the canon and curricula of philosophy.
How does the recovery of women thinkers and their philosophies
change our view of the past, and how does a different view of the
past affect us in the present? Studying a richer and more
pluralistic history of philosophy presents us with worlds we have
never entered and have never been able to approach. This book will
appeal to philosophers and intellectual historians wanting to view
the history of philosophy in a new light and who are in favor of an
inclusive perspective on that history.

Issues surrounding birth and death have been fundamental for
Western philosophy as well as for individual existence. The
contributors to this volume unravel the gendered aspects of the
classical philosophical discourses on death, bringing in
discussions about birth, creativity, and the entire chain of human
activity. By linking their work to major thinkers such as
Heidegger, Nietzsche, Beauvoir, and Arendt, and to major
philosophical currents such as ancient philosophy, existentialism,
phenomenology, and social and political philosophy, they challenge
prevailing feminist articulations of birth and death. These
philosophical reflections add an important sexual dimension to
current thinking on identity, temporality, and community.
