Women Philosophers of the 20th Century
8820 Judicial Drive, San Diego, 92122
Cost: Free
Oliva M. Espin, Professor Emerita in the Department of Women's Studies at San Diego State University, will discuss the contributions of four women to the philosophy of the 20th century: Simone de Beauvoir, Edith Stein, Simone Weil, and Hannah Arendt. These unique individuals were chosen because of the significance of their work. Although it is recognizably philosophical, these women suffered from ostracism, and their importance has been neglected, ignored, or forgotten. Professor Espin will discuss what is different about the contributions of women to philosophy.
