  text: Why should the philosophy of the Pythagoreans be reduced to Pythagoras alone?
    Why do we learn about the ego only from Husserl and not from Conrad-Martius? What
    do we know about free will from Helene Druskowitz and why is Émilie Du Châtelet
    unknown to us? Many of the philosophers in this collection were celebrities in
    their own time. What can we gain from rediscovering the knowledge of women philosophers?
    Philosophy reflects the foundations on which we organise our world. There is no
    doubt that women create structures that shape our world. Over the centuries, women
    thinkers have formulated ideas and concepts to explain our world and to call for
    its reorganisation. This collection offers a selection of these ideas and concepts
    from over 2000 years. The new history of philosophy emerges in this way. It provides
    the basis for teaching and future research. Rooted in the past, it can use that
    experience to contribute to a new and better way forward.
