There have been many great female scientists, novelists, artists, etc. But which female philosophers should replace Plato, Aristotle, Erasmus, Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Hume, Kant, Mill, Nietzsche, Habermas, or Singer? Serious suggestions welcome.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/2018/03/14/oxford-university-set-feminise-curriculum-requesting-inclusion/ …
To be fair, I have plenty of respect for Mary Wollstonecraft, Jane Addams, Susanne Langer, Ayn Rand, Hannah Arendt, Simone de Beauvoir, Janet Radcliffe-Richards, Deirdre McCloskey, etc. But would any make the top 30 in terms of historical influence?
What about the female philosopher mentioned in the article, G.E.M. Anscombe? i.e. Elizabeth Anscombe?
Only Ayn Rand
Simone Weil
Hannah Arendt yes.
Of course no woman would : because women were denied any influence to start with !
a lot of politicians and scientists left off this list....some pretty major artists and patrons too.... and this man's list start with women from the late 18th century....AD
A good book for undergraduates by a brilliant woman was Sister Miriam Joseph's "The Trivium." (Her book on Shakespeare's use of rhetoric is excellent but not germane here.) Anyone who learns these "old-fashioned" lessons will be in good shape.https://www.amazon.com/Trivium-Liberal-Logic-Grammar-Rhetoric/dp/0967967503 …
Thanks, didn't know!
Elizabeth Anscombe (-Wittgenstein's literary executor) was a great mind. The essay in which she dubs David Hume a "mere--brilliant--sophist" is classic. ("Modern Moral Philosophy, 1958)
I'd argue that titan writers like Gertrude Stein we're so subversive in their politics, such that their writings represented new philosophies, publishing (arguably) the earliest modern queer literature.
