John Kaag

Idealism, Pragmatism, and Feminism

The Philosophy of Ella Lyman Cabot

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is an intellectual biography in the most literal sense; at no point in the history of American philosophy has an individual embodied the ideals that they wrote about at length. Philosophical idealism, pragmatism and feminism served as guides for Ella Lyman Cabot as she entered the discipline of philosophy, a discipline that continues to marginalize the work of women to this very day.
