Reason, Illusion, and Passion: Philosophical Works

0/5 ( ratings)

The amazing scientist, mathematician, philosopher Émilie du Châtelet has widely been hailed as a rare female intellectual in the Enlightenment. At the same time, her own ideas and contributions remain largely unknown and her writings are rarely read. This is unfortunate, since she has interesting contributions to and explanations of physics, metaphysics, religion, translation, the equality of the sexes, and ethics.

This book is a selection of du Châtelet's philosophical writings, in new English translations:

-Foreword to "Foundations of Physics"
-On the Principles of Our Knowledge
-On the Existence of God
-On Liberty
-Translator's Preface to Mandeville's "Fable of the Bees"
-On the Resurrection of the Dead
-On Happiness

Language: English

Pages: 69

Format: Kindle Edition
