This conference follows in the footsteps of recent reevaluations of the epistemological foundations of scholarship in the history of philosophy, including regarding the guiding names and texts that comprise its canon. In particular, we are interested in raising and reevaluating questions regarding women philosophers and their role(s) in philosophy in Russia. We are also interested in addressing the very idea of “women philosophers”: Why has the discipline of philosophy in Russia been so reluctant to take up this question? What is lost and what is gained by looking specifically at the contributions of women to the field? Here we understand “Russia” in a very broad sense of the term (a place, a language, a culture, an intellectual tradition), so as to include thinkers living within Russia, the former Russian Empire, and Soviet/post-Soviet space, as well as those thinkers living elsewhere but writing in Russian and/or engaging with or connected to Russian-language sources/traditions in some way.
