“The most revolutionary thing one can do is always to proclaim loudly what is happening.” That’s the #19C thinker Rosa Luxemburg, whose birthday is March 5. A bold anti-nationalist, anti-capitalist & anti-fascist avant la lettre. Her work is worth revisiting – always. #philsky #books

“People who dislike clever women are in a tragic mood.” Hedwig Conrad-Martius (born Feb 27, 1888) won the Göttingen phenomenology prize in 1912. Do celebrate her today! Much more fun to teach phenomenology with Stein, Walther, and C-M on the syllabus. #Philsky #phenomenology

“Practically all the great European philosophers have been bachelors…” Such is the opening of Mary Midgley’s “Rings & Books.” Am I the only one to have missed this long-lost gem of an essay (aka script for a never-aired BBC talk) published online by Raven Magazine? #philsk #womeninphilosophy

Beyond Jon Fosse: Brilliant LRB essay by @torilmoi.bsky.social on the Norwegian writer Vigdis Hjorth’s fourth novel in English. Read Moi; read Hjorth’s (Kierkegaardian) «If Only.» And don’t judge a book by its cover – #books #philsky

Feb. 12 is Lou Salomé’s birthday! Metaphysical in her leanings, vitalism-curious, a pioneer in psychoanalysis, and ready to talk about sex & gender in thought-provoking ways. Sometimes annoying; never boring. The Erotic is a philosophical classic. Excerpts in Women Philosophers. #philsky #books

«In the name of our sex I challenge men to justify the right they have presumed for themselves to hold back an entire half of the human race.» That’s Amalia Holst in 1802. Her birthday – Feb. 10 – is worth celebrating. Andrew Cooper’s Aeon-essay & Cambr. Elements are highly recommended – #philsky

Cringeworthy endorsements for Beauvoir: “…a rare woman—articulate, discerning, and uncommonly courageous…One of the few great women of her time.” First Eng. translation of The Second Sex erased 78 women’s names. No wonder Beauvoir was left a lone shining star… #Philsky #Books

Twin-volume alert: Hoping two vols – some 6 lb of solid research – on women #philosopers in the #19thCentury will leave a mark on the field. Thanks to @lydiamoland.bsky.social and Alison Stone for their superb editorship. Challenging a male-dominated canon, one page at a time. #philsky #books

Teaching intro to feminist philosophy with a historical twist: 1. Women are erased from the tradition 2. Feminism enters the stage with 20th c philosophy 3. Reintroduce the women in the history of philosophy 4. Voilà - feminism has been there all along #Feminism #Philsky

Congrats to my collaborator Alison Stone on her "Women on Philosophy of Art," featuring Anna Barbauld, Harriet Martineau, Anna Jameson, Frances Power Cobbe, Emilia Dilke, and Vernon Lee. Just out from OUP. More evidence of #womeninphilosophy evident as soon as we look! #aesthetics #philsky #19C

I just bought the Perfect-paperback of Hedwig Conrad-Martius' seminal Metaphysical Conversations and Phenomenological Essays. "This is the first translation into English of early phenomenologist Hedwig Conrad-Martius’ Metaphysical Conversations, originally published in 1921."

Looking for someone to cover women in 19th-century European philosophy? No need to despair. Just head for the Table of Contents in the Oxford Handbook of Women in Nineteenth-Century German Philosophy that @dalianassar.bsky.social and I just edited. Competence abounds! #philsky #WomenInPhilosophy

The question of 'what counts as philosophy' is intriguing in part because it echoes with the question of 'who counts as a philosopher'

No women in the history of modern philosophy? Think twice. Already Henrik Ibsen knew they were there. He put women thinkers on stage. And he read Germaine de Staël, Hedwig Dohm, Lou Salomé, and others. Check out my conversation with Peter Adamson: historyofphilosophy.net/sites/defaul... #art #books

I still can’t believe we made it: The recent Oxford Handbook to Nineteenth-Century Women Philosophers in the German Tradition presents such solid scholarship from the 30 contributors. (Somewhat) color-synchronized with Women Philosophers in the Nineteenth Century. #philsky #artsky #feminism

Beyond the femme fatale: Lou Salomé is getting much-deserved attention as a philosopher. Looking forward to the workshop “Lou Salomé’s Philosophy” at the University of Agder, Dec. 12, with A. Huddleston, K. Kraus, H. Vinje (organizer), and others. #Philsky #Psychoanalysis #WomenInPhilosophy

The cover for the Salomé-Freud correspondence: Younger woman & older man. A familiar story. They met in 1911. Freud was 55. Salomé was 50. She was already a well-established intellectual. That’s a lesser known – but more interesting – story. #Philsky #Psychoanalysis #Booksky

As a philosophy student in Scandinavia in the 1990s, the University of Aarhus was the place to be for post-Kantian thought – thanks, in no small part, to the legendary Justus Hartnack. Needless to say, I’m thrilled to give the 2024 Hartnack Lecture on Dec. 10. #Philsky #Aarhus #WomenInPhilosophy
