TEHRAN-- Mary Ellen Waithes book A History of Women Philosophers has recently been published in Persian.Kargadan is the publisher of the book translated by a team of Iranian professionals led by Maryam Nasr Esfahani.Like their predecessors, and like their male equivalents, most ladies theorists of the 20th century have substantial knowledge in several specialties.

Their work represents the range of 20th-century approachs interests in moral pragmatism, sensible positivism, approach of mathematics, psychology, and mind.

Their writings consist of feminist approach, classical ethical theory reassessed in light of Kant, Mill, and the 19th-century feminist and abolitionist motions, and issues in logic and perception.

Included in the fourth volume of the series are discussions of L.

Susan Stebbing, Edith Stein, Hedwig Conrad Martius, Simone de Beauvoir, Simone Weil, Mary Whiton Calkins, Gerda Walther and others.

While pre-20th century women thinkers were typically self-educated, those of the 20th century had greater access to academic preparation in philosophy.

Yet, for all the advances made by women thinkers over two and a half centuries, the theorists talked about in this volume were often excluded from complete participation in academic life, and sometimes rejected complete professional academic status.Waithe is a professor and chair of the Department of Philosophy and Comparative Religion at Cleveland State University.Photo: Front cover of the Persian edition of Mary Ellen Waithes book A History of Women Philosophers .
