<blockquote>Whenever I read claims about 'forgotten women', I want to ask: 'By whom?' Feminists? Society? The 'culture'? And why 'forgotten'? Forgetting presupposes something once known, but the general 'we' who have 'forgotten' these women are also the 'we' who were not taught them in the first place. Such generalisations risk shifting the focus, and the responsibility, away from the agents of our ignorance: the historians and philosophers who made a world in which certain texts were deemed unworthy of preservation and the history of women's thought was kept to the margins. </blockquote>– <a href="https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/n08/sophie-smith/a-comet-that-bodes-mischief">A Comet that Bodes Mischief</a> by Sophie Smith. <a href="https://www.lrb.co.uk/podcasts-and-videos/podcasts/the-lrb-podcast/women-in-philosophy">She discussed women in philosophy on the LRB Podcast</a>.post:www.metafilter.com,2024:site.203707Mon, 13 May 2024 12:02:30 -0800KattullusPhilosophyHistoryFeminismSophieSmithBy: 15L06

Thank you for this:
"As Desmond Clarke points out in the preface to his edition of Poulain, Hume published The Treatise of Human Nature, famous among contemporary philosophers for introducing the 'is-ought' problem, just a year later. Did he know Sophia's essay? It's not impossible. If Sophia was a woman then philosophers have for centuries attributed to a man the discovery of a problem already identified by a woman who was herself trying to expose philosophy's sexism. That seems unbearable, but maybe it's glorious."comment:www.metafilter.com,2024:site.203707-8560961Tue, 14 May 2024 11:02:23 -0800HearHereBy: tamarack

¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
