Ninon de Lenclos, a famous seventeenth-century libertine, was considered a philosopher by her contemporaries. However, nineteenth, twentieth, and even early twenty-first century commentators no longer regarded her as such. This book advocates for this status to be reinstated and sheds light on de Lenclos’ moral philosophy and its importance.
