Women's Perspectives on Ancient and Medieval Philosophy
This book promotes the research of present-day women working in ancient and medieval philosophy, with more than 60 women having contributed in some way to the volume in a fruitful collaboration. It contains 22 papers organized into ten distinct parts spanning the sixth century BCE to the fifteenth century CE. Each part has the same structure: it features, first, a paper which sets up the discussion, and then, one or two responses that open new perspectives and engage in further reflections. Our authors’ contributions address pivotal moments and players in the history of philosophy: women philosophers in antiquity, Cleobulina of Rhodes, Plato, Lucretius, Bardaisan of Edessa, Alexander of Aphrodisias, Plotinus, Porphyry, Peter Abelard, Robert Kilwardby, William Ockham, John Buridan, and Isotta Nogarola. The result is a thought-provoking collection of papers that will be of interest to historians of philosophy from all horizons. Far from being an isolated effort, this book is a contribution to the ever-growing number of initiatives which endeavour to showcase the work of women in philosophy.
Origen, the Philosophical Theologian
How did Origen, one of the major Patristic thinkers, construct his philosophical theology? What are his main innovations in metaphysics, protology, Trinitarian Theology and Christology? How did he view the relation between philosophy and theology? This is a collection of over twenty essays, mostly from world-leading journals and books from outstanding publishers, besides two new ones, from Professor Ilaria L.E. Ramelli’s life-long, and always continuing, research on Origen. This coherent set of studies is grouped around Origen’s metaphysics, protology, Trinitarian theology and Christology, and the relation between theology and philosophy, with reception aspects. The essays address Origen...
Soul, Body, and Gender in Late Antiquity
Including both traditional and underrepresented accounts and geographies of soul, body, gender, and sexuality in late antique history, philosophy, and theology, this volume offers substantial re-readings of these and related concepts through theories of dis/embodiment. Bringing together gender studies, late antique philosophy, patristics, history of asceticism, and history of Indian philosophy, this interdisciplinary volume examines the notions of dis/embodiment and im/materiality in late antique and early Christian culture and thought. The book’s geographical scope extends beyond the ancient Mediterranean, providing comparative perspectives from Late Antiquity in the Near East and South A...
Possibility and Necessity in the Time of Peter Abelard
This book offers a major reassessment of Abelard’s modal logic and theory of modalities, and provides a comprehensive study of the 12th-century context in which his views originated and developed, by analysing many logical sources that are still unedited and mostly unexplored.
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Plato
This essential reference text on the life, thought and writings of Plato uses over 160 short, accessible articles to cover a complete range of topics for both the first-time student and seasoned scholar of Plato and ancient philosophy.

Maternité dérobée
Depuis la première fécondation in vitro, en 1976, les nouvelles technologies de reproduction ont continué de bouleverser les pratiques médicales. Maintenant, il est même possible de faire appel à une tierce personne pour se reproduire. Le recours aux mères porteuses est-il un progrès scientifique duquel il faut se réjouir, ou une régression sur les plans social et éthique? Quelles sont les conséquences d’une telle pratique sur l’expérience de la maternité et sur les droits humains? Sa légitimation et son éventuelle commercialisation ne sont-elles pas des étapes qui requièrent un débat large et éclairé? Maria De Koninck plaide pour que le bien-être de l’enfant à naître soit mis au coeur de ce débat.

Las griegas
En este primer volumen de la colección La otra palabra, Mariana Gardella Hueso invita a conocer la vida y obra de algunas griegas, filósofas, poetas y oradoras. Pensadoras que en la aurora de la tradición filosófica occidental asumieron el riesgo de hacer lo que no se esperaba de ellas: tomar la palabra. Una palabra que a veces se reservaba para el círculo de las más amadas, como la de Safo de Lesbos, que aparta su mirada del campo de batalla para dedicarle su poesía al deseo. Una palabra enigmática, como la de Cleobulina de Lindos, quien a través de sus acertijos provoca el asombro, experiencia de la que nace toda filosofía. Una palabra secreta como la de las pitagóricas, quienes...
