Abstract

[The focus of this chapter is to show how already in the Middle Ages the construction of a virtue ethics that resulted in a specifically feminist appropriation in the twentieth century had begun.1 The (very) few women who participated in the ethical debates of the time found that certain aspects of the philosophical views inherited from antiquity fitted their needs better. I focus on one such woman: Heloise of Argenteuil.2]
