Abstract

[How does the history of philosophy affect the situationSituation of women students in the field today and how has that situation changed over the years? From the very early days of philosophy, there have been women with either indirect or direct access to philosophical education. The fact that women are interested in philosophy and want to study it has received some attention even in the texts attributed to ancient philosophers, such as PlatoPlatoand PhintysPhintys. However, ever since those days, women have remained a minority within philosophy and their position in it has been fairly precarious. To analyse the perpetuation of women’s marginalisation in philosophy, I introduce Le Dœuff’s idea of the erotico-theoretical transference and discuss the cult of geniusGenius, cult of. In addition, I scrutinise the temporal and pedagogical meaning of having women predecessors in philosophy, and suggest ways of integrating such predecessors in the curriculum. The chapter ends with the goals and outcomes of a related experimental summer schoolSummer school titled Feminist Thinking in Historical Perspective.]
