Synopsis

If you are asked about philosophers, you immediately come up with numerous names: Socrates, Plato, Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Sartre ... and countless more. When asked about philosophers, the answers usually - if at all - exhaust themselves in Hannah Arendt and Simone de Beauvoir. In every age, there have also been philosophizing women who were thought leaders and caused change. The revolutionary equality thinker Olympe de Gouge, for example, Dorothea Schlözer, the first doctor of philosophy in Germany, Mary W. Calkins, who dealt with the philosophy of self, Christina of Sweden, who described sensory impressions as the basis of knowledge, or Martha Nussbaum, who dealt with justice and inclusion. The philosophical questions of important thinkers are mostly lifelike and allow new perspectives and food for thought: influential thinkers are sketched in grippy individual portraits and thus their merits are torn from oblivion.
