Philosophers

Like their predecessors, and like their male counterparts, most women philosophers of the 20th century have significant expertise in several specialities. Moreover, their work represents the gamut of 20th century philosophy's interests in moral pragmatism, logical positivism, philosophy of mathematics, of psychology, and of mind. Their writings include feminist philosophy, classical moral theory reevaluated in light of Kant, Mill, and the 19th century feminist and abolitionist movements, and issues in logic and perception.

This visual celebration of the world's most celebrated thinkers tells the fascinating stories of their lives and pioneering ideas.

An eminently readable broad introduction to modern philosophy and philosophers.
