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

该项目旨在调查被忽视的历史妇女参与与斯多葛派思想在早期现代英国。它希望通过采用新颖的跨学科方法来研究不同类型的早期现代写作，从而产生关于独特的女性斯多葛思想的新知识。预期的结果包括对女性在这一时期对哲学、文学和政治的宝贵贡献的新理解，以及对斯多葛派哲学性别包容性的更大赞赏。这将带来重大的好处，例如根据妇女的经验发展斯多葛式的治疗技术，以及通过承认妇女的智力历史来促进两性平等。

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.
