What is Women And Reason about?

The Idea Of Reason And Its Place In Western Thought Has Long Been A Central Topic For Philosophers, Histories, And Cultural Theorists. Some Have Claimed That Since Rationality Is A Male Principle, The Emphasis Placed Upon It Has Relegated Women To Secondary Positions Throughout The History Of Western Civilization. Women And Reason Provides A Revisionary Assessment Of The Idea Of Reason And Its Relationship To Femininity. The Editors Of This Interdisciplinary Collection Have Gathered Essays That Examine The Concept Of Reason From A Variety Of Perspectives And Across A Number Of Historical Periods. Philosophers, Philosophers Of Science, Historians, Literary Critics, Art Historians, And Theorists Of Culture Address The Idea Of Reason And How It Has Affected Our Notion Of The Feminine From The Seventeenth Century, The Period Many Have Seen As Giving Birth To Our Modern Idea Of Rationality, To The Present. Topics Addressed Include The Place Of Women In Seventeenth-century English Culture, The Relationship Between Women And Religion In The Writings Of Francis Bacon And John Calvin, Women And Prophecy, And The Relationship Between Gender And The Origins Of Science.
