Rebecca M. Wilkin

Women, Imagination and the Search for Truth in Early Modern France (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Grounded in medical, juridical, and philosophical texts (both Latin and French) of early modern France, this innovative study tells the story of how the idea of woman contributed to the emergence of modern science. Rebecca Wilkin re-visits and revises deeply held notions about the place of women in the search for truth, their role in the development of rational thought, and the way early modern intellectuals dealt with the emergence of an influential female public.
