The idea of the workshop
The idea of the workshop
Women were present in all centers of the early analytic philosophy, yet their contributions are still often overlooked and under-explored by historians of philosophy. This situation affects the way analytic philosophy is perceived. Susan Stebbing was the editor of the journal “Analysis” and the author of excellent logic textbooks. In Vienna, Rose Rand and Olga Hahn-Neurath regularly participated in Schlick’s circle meetings. The Lvov-Warsaw School became famous for a large percentage of female members and gender equality. Although the contribution of these thinkers to the early analytic philosophy has been partially established, there is still a lot to do to analyze their output and the role they played in their environments.
The presentation of the history of women in analytic philosophy will be the basis for the discussion about the present. The participants of the workshop will address the question of whether the obstacles that the female representatives of early analytic philosophy had to face in their careers have been removed.
