#THE DIVISION 2 ENCYCLOPEDIA UPDATE#
As we regularly update and expand its contents we will begin to provide links to sources where available. We begin with more than a hundred philosophic concepts as they were developed by women from antiquity through the turn of the 21st century. The Encyclopedia of Concise Concepts by Women Philosophers is unique. But NONE offer a comprehensive list of entries about the ideas women philosophers have developed. Some are arranged by concepts, ideas and theories such as justice, number or rationalism. Others are arranged by school of philosophy such as Epicureanism, or Zen. Most encyclopedias are arranged according to philosopher such as Aquinas, Kant, Marx, or by division of philosophy such as aesthetics, or logic. Append to each essay a short bibliography of the most relevant articles and books in which that philosopher’s concept is developed or discussed. We gave this challenge to eminent scholars around the globe: in 100-300 words explain a concept as it was developed by a woman philosopher. And thus was born the idea for this encyclopedia: to create a living, growing work filled with new information from an ancient discipline, adapted to up to date technology. New historical information about women’s contributions is generating new knowledge, warranting reconsideration of the standard histories of the discipline.īut one thing about human nature has not changed: our ability to comprehend succinct, but concise philosophical concepts, like “thinking”.
