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. Professor Espin selected these unique individuals 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 also discuss what is different about the contributions of women to philosophy.
