Cutting-edge and fully contextualised, this volume will be essential for scholars and students of early modern philosophy, religion and science, as well as of the history of feminism. Publisher Description The work of women philosophers in the early modern period has traditionally been overlooked, yet their writing on topics such as reality, time, mind and matter holds valuable lessons for our understanding of metaphysics and its history. This volume of new essays explores the work of nine key female figures: Bathsua Makin, Anna Maria van Schurman, Elisabeth of Bohemia, Margaret Cavendish, Anne Conway, Damaris Cudworth Masham, Mary Astell, Catharine Trotter Cockburn, and Émilie Du Châtelet. Investigating issues from eternity to free will and from body to natural laws, the essays uncover long-neglected perspectives and demonstrate their importance for philosophical debates, both then and now. Combining careful philosophical analysis with discussion of the intellectual and historical context of each thinker, they will set the agenda for future enquiry and will appeal to scholars and students of the history of metaphysics, science, religion and feminism. Author Biography Emily Thomas is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Durham. She has published numerous articles on time and space in early modern and early twentieth-century philosophy, and is an editor at the British Journal for the History of Philosophy.
