14Liberty of Mind: Women Philosophers and the Freedom to PhilosophizeIn Jacqueline Broad & Karen Detlefsen (eds.), Women and Liberty, 1600-1800: Philosophical Essays, Oxford University Press. pp. 123-137. 2017.This chapter demonstrates how early modern male and female thinkers alike were concerned not only with ethical, religious, and political liberty, but also with the liberty to philosophize, or libertas philosophandi.

Since then such attention as there has been to More has not always served him well. He has been dismis…Read more
