RELH 2300

Philosopher Queens of Hinduism

Course Description

This course revisits the lives and conceptual legacies of notable female philosophers in Hinduism. In particular, we track a historiographical problem, a question of genre, and a conceptual question: how shall we recover women¿s voices? What link between certain genres of thought and the role of female philosophers in history? What relationships between gender, embodiment, subjectivity and experience?
