Philosophy: metaphysics & ontology; Philosophy: epistemology & theory of knowledge; Philosophy of science

The first scholarly volume on Émilie Du Châtelet’s philosophy highlights her novel contributions to metaphysics, philosophy of science, and ethics.

As an understudied figure in the history of early modern philosophy, this volume re-positions her thinking alongside philosophical predecessors like Leibniz, Newton, Wolff, and Voltaire, as well as considering her own influence in the decades and centuries after her death.

Established and emerging scholars of early modern philosophy cover all aspects of Du Châtelet’s philosophical work including her metaphysical views on the Principle of Sufficient Reason, the Principle of Contradiction, and natural theology, as well as her writings on epistemology, space and time, philosophy of mathematics, freedom, imagination and happiness. By positioning Du Châtelet firmly within the history of philosophy and the philosophy of science, Fatema Amijee’s edited volume contributes to the renewed scholarly attention on early modern women philosophers. Essential reading for students and scholars of early modern philosophy, history of science, philosophy of science, and feminist philosophy, this go-to text on Du Châtelet marks a new era of scholarly attention for a formerly neglected figure.
