This 2004 book was the first intellectual biography of one of the very first English women philosophers. At a time when very few women received more than basic education, Lady Anne Conway wrote an original treatise of philosophy, her Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy, which challenged the major philosophers of her day - Descartes, Hobbes and Spinoza. Sarah Hutton's study places Anne Conway in her historical and philosophical context, by reconstructing her social and intellectual milieu. She traces her intellectual development in relation to friends and associates such as Henry More, Sir John Finch, F. M. van Helmont, Robert Boyle and George Keith. And she documents Conway's debt to Cambridge Platonism and her interest in religion - an interest which extended beyond Christian orthodoxy to Quakerism, Judaism and Islam. Her book offers an insight into both the personal life of a very private woman, and the richness of seventeenth-century intellectual culture.

La contribution des femmes à l'avènement de la science moderne en Angleterre. Cet ouvrage se propose d'évaluer la contribution des femmes à l'avènement de la science moderne en Angleterre. On s'intéresse ici à deux aristocrates du XVIIe siècle, Margaret Cavendish, duchesse de Newcastle, et Anne, vicomtesse Conway, auteurs de traités de philosophie naturelle publiés entre 1650 et 1690. Cette enquête sur les ruses conçues et mises en oeuvre par ces deux autodidactes afin d'infiltrer la communauté savante sans pour autant transgresser ouvertement les principes patriarcaux montre comment elles ont pu participer aux échanges de la République des lettres. Mais il s'agit aussi d'évaluer la contribution réelle de ces femmes aux débats de philosophie naturelle, alors orchestrés par la Royal Society de Londres. Après avoir replacé les traités de Cavendish et de Conwaydans le contexte intellectuel du milieu du XVIIe siècle, l'ouvrage propose une analyse des doctrines vitalistes que les deux femmes élaborent en réponse au mécanisme, d'une part, et au désordre politique et religieux de l'Angleterre, d'autre part. Au croisement de l'histoire des femmes et de l'histoire des sciences, il retrace le processus de cristallisation de la figure de la femme savante en Angleterre dans la seconde moitié du XVIIe siècle. Bien que largement absentes de l'historiographie traditionnelle des sciences modernes, les femmes ont contribué à leur façon aux débats philosophiques de leur temps.

In deze bundel staat het denken over 'de ander' en 'het anders-zijn' in het werk van een twintigtal auteurs/filosofen vanaf de 17e eeuw centraal. In het eerste deel komen vrouwelijke denkers aan bod, die de problematiek van de verhouding ik/ander vanuit een sociaal-politiek en ethisch perspectief hebben belicht. Het zijn onder andere Belle Van Zuylen, Mary Wollstonecraft, Simone De Beauvoir en Carol Gilligan. Het tweede deel van het boek belicht een aantal literaire filosofen en 'denkende dichters' waaronder Julia Kristeva, Hélène Cixous en Virginia Woolf. Het laatste deel behandelt tenslotvooral twintigste-eeuwse denkers, van wie het denken cirkelt rondom de begrippen alteriteit, pluraliteit en (seksuele) differentie. Het gaat onder meer over het werk van Hannah Arendt, Sarah Kofman en Luce Irigaray. Bij elke behandelde auteur is een korte biografische schets en een beknopte bibliografie opgenomen.
