In the eighteenth century, the powerful figure of the “female philosopher” is at the centre of ambivalent fantasies concerning the difference between the sexes, which swing between the fear of harmful confusion and the desire for harmony. Do women distort philosophy? Is the Enlightenment gendered?
- By (author) Florence Lotterie
Review - French En 1743, dans le recueil clandestin desNouvelles Libertes de penser,l'opuscule attribue a Dumarsais,Le Philosophe,deplore que soit galvaude l'usage de ce titre glorieux employe au masculin, qui consacre un triple ideal du sage : audace de la pensee, courage moral, service de l'humanite. Le traitement paradoxal, dans les discours du XVIIIsiecle, de la femme philosophe , fait echo a ce constat critique de banalisation. De Fontenelle aux lendemains de la Revolution, la question des conditions d'acces au monde de la philosophie s'articule a un imaginaire ambivalent de la difference des sexes, pris entre hantise d'une confusion deletere et quete d'un modele d'harmonie. La femme travestit-elle la philosophie ? Les Lumieres ont-elles un genre ?
