The purpose of this conference is both to raise awareness of the rich historical tradition of women’s philosophy as well as to help make the connection with current social, moral, political and philosophical debate by bringing neglected women writers, past and present, into dialogue with today’s discourses.

Convenors: Sandrine Bergès (Bilkent), Alan Coffee (King’s)

Julia Lerius (Paderborn University) will talk about Hildegard’s of Bingen philosophical perspective on the body and soul relation and give some impulses for future discussions.
