Feminist Archeology: Uncovering Women&#39;s Philosophical History

A History of Women Philosophers, Volume I: Ancient Women Philoophers, 600 B.C. - 500 A.D., edited by Mary Ellen Waithe, is an important but somewhat frustrating book. It is filled with tantalizing glimpses into the lives and thoughts of some of our earliest philosophical foremothers. Yet it lacks a clear unifying theme, and the abrupt transitions from one philosopher and period to the next are sometimes disconcerting. The overall effect is not unlike that of viewing an expansive landscape, illuminated only by a few tiny spotlights.

É ponto comum e não discutível que a história da filosofia é construída majoritariamente por mãos masculinas; por isso, a importância de mostrar a contribuição do pensamento feminino silenciado por séculos. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste artigo é evidenciar aquelas que contribuíram com a formação da própria concepção de filosofia, focando na reflexão construída pelas pensadoras gregas pitagóricas. Para isso me sirvo especialmente do trabalho de Mary Ellen Waithe, A history of women philosophers, 1992 (1987)

How might we locate originality as emerging from within the “discrete” work of commentary? Because many women have engaged with philosophy informs (including commentary) that preclude their work from being seen as properly “original,” this question is a feminist issue. Via the work of selected contemporary French women philosophers, the author shows how commentary can reconfigure the philosophical tradition in innovative ways, as well as in ways that change what counts as philosophical innovation.
