Women Philosophers in Nineteenth Century Britain
Apr 14, 2023•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
In Women Philosophers in Nineteenth Century Britain (OUP, 2023), Alison
Stone explores the contributions of twelve women to philosophy in the
nineteenth century. Focusing on five areas - naturalism, philosophy of
mind, evolution, morality and religion, and progress in history - she shows
how these women philosophers were responding to each other as part of
bigger intellectual networks in order to develop their own original
contributions. Women Philosophers encourages the reader to reassess the
position women held in nineteenth century intellectual life and what it
means to do philosophy.
Alison Stone is professor of philosophy at Lancaster University.
