Mary Astell (1666-1731): An Historical-Intellectual Role Model for Women in Philosophy

玛丽·阿斯特尔是一位具有非凡口才和技巧的早期现代英国哲学家。这个项目将产生她的哲学思想的第一个概述，她的巨著的第一个权威评论版，以及她今天的哲学意义的第一个评估。这些成果有可能鼓励妇女参与哲学和更广泛的知识生活，这些成果将极大地有利于澳大利亚的社会和经济结构。该项目还将加强澳大利亚在早期现代研究和妇女思想史方面本已杰出的学术声誉。

Mary Astell was an early modern English philosopher of exceptional eloquence and skill. This project will produce the first overview of her philosophical thought, the first authoritative critical edition of her magnum opus, and the first assessment of her philosophical relevance today. These outputs have the potential to encourage women's participation in philosophy and in intellectual life more generally, outcomes that would be of tremendous benefit to Australia's social and economic fabric. The project will also enhance Australia's already outstanding scholarly reputation for early modern studies and the history of women's ideas.
