Krátky popis
As a young woman growing up in a small, religious community, Regan
Penaluna daydreamed about the big questions: Who are we and what is
this strange world we find ourselves in? In college she discovered
philosophy and fell in love with its rationality, its abstractions,
its beauty. What Penaluna didn't realize was that philosophy - at
least the canon that's taught in Western universities, as well as
the culture that surrounds it - would slowly grind her down through
its devaluation of women and their minds. Women were nowhere in her
curriculum, and feminist philosophy was dismissed as marginal,
unserious.Until Penaluna came across the work of a
seventeenth-century woman named Damaris Cudworth Masham. Reading
Masham's work was like reaching through time: writing three hundred
years ago, Masham was speaking directly to her about knowledge and
God, but also the condition of women. Her work eventually led
Penaluna to other remarkable women philosophers of the era: Mary
Astell, Catharine Cockburn and Mary Wollstonecraft.Together these
women rekindled Penaluna's love of philosophy and taught her how to
live a truly philosophical life. She combines memoir with biography
to tell the stories of these four women, weaving throughout an
alternative history of philosophy as well as her own search for
beauty and truth. Formally inventive and keenly intelligent, How to
Think Like a Woman is a moving meditation on what philosophy could
look like if women were treated equally.
