Toward a Female Stoic Tradition: Women's Writings in England, 1600-1800

这个项目旨在调查被忽视的历史，在早期现代英国妇女参与斯多葛派思想。它希望通过对早期现代写作的不同体裁采取一种新颖的跨学科方法，产生关于女性斯多葛主义思想的独特线索的新知识。预期的结果包括对妇女在这一时期对哲学、文学和政治的宝贵贡献的新理解，以及对斯多葛学派哲学的性别包容性的更大赞赏。这将带来显著的好处，例如根据妇女的经验开发坚忍的治疗技术，并通过承认妇女的知识史来促进两性平等。

This project aims to investigate the neglected history of women’s engagement with Stoic ideas in early modern England. It expects to generate new knowledge of a distinctive strand of women’s Stoic thought by taking a novel interdisciplinary approach to different genres of early modern writing. The intended outcomes include a new understanding of women’s valuable contributions to philosophy, literature, and politics in the period, as well as a greater appreciation of the gender-inclusivity of Stoic philosophy. This should provide significant benefits, such as the development of Stoic therapeutic techniques informed by women’s experiences, and the promotion of gender equality through the recognition of women’s intellectual history.
