Produktbeschreibung

This is the second of two collections of correspondence written by English women philosophers. This volume covers the eighteenth century and focuses on the letters of Mary Astell, Elizabeth Thomas, and Catharine Trotter Cockburn.

She situates the philosophers' contributions as significant in early modern thought and demonstrates philosophy's development in this time period as shaped by the participation of women thinkers.
