What did the great philosophers really think about women?
From ancient Greece to modern thought, The Philosophy of Women traces the intellectual roots of gender inequality in Western philosophy. Plato's guarded support of female guardians, Aristotle's blunt biological sexism, Kant's rigid moral roles, Schopenhauer's contempt-these were not fringe ideas. They were foundational.
In clear, compelling prose, James W. Haddad exposes how some of history's greatest minds reinforced the idea that women were inferior, emotional, irrational, and destined for domesticity. Yet this is also a story of resistance. From Mary Wollstonecraft to Simone de Beauvoir, from bell hooks to Judith Butler, women have fought to reshape the philosophical world that excluded them.
This is not a book about feminism, but a book about philosophy-its truths, its failures, and its long-overdue reckoning with the question of woman.
