Concrete creationism about fictional things
Proponents of fictional realism hold that there really are fictional things. But they do not, of course, maintain that these are the kind of things that the fiction appears to describe. They would not say that Sherlock Holmes, for example, is a concrete, actually existent detective: rather, Sherlock Holmes is something else – an abstractum, say, or a Meinongian non-existent. This thing has properties quite different from the in-the-fiction proper…
Joanna Baillie as a Philosophical Dramatist
Joanna Baillie (1762–1851) was renowned in the earlier nineteenth century as a playwright. This paper argues that the kind of drama she produced was distinctly philosophical, both in its content, examining the danger of the passions in human life, and its educational aims, showing how the characters’ failures to regulate their passions brought about their downfall, which served as a warning to the audience. After exploring why Baillie used drama …
Joanna Baillie's Theory of Tragedy
Joanna Baillie (1762–1851) came to fame in 1798 with the first volume of her Plays on the Passions, which included her theoretical account of drama, including tragedy. This article reconstructs Baillie's theory of tragedy and shows how the theory informs the design of the Plays on the Passions. For Baillie, all human beings have powerful and dangerous passions that we need to learn to regulate. Tragedy can help with this and can serve an educativ…
Public Space as a Stress-Relieving Healing Environment
High population and fewer opportunities in rural areas, coupled with migration has resulted in an increase of population in urban areas of developing countries like India.Unskilled labour and a low level of education have forced people to resort to street vending for their livelihood.Moreover, street vending does not need high levels of skills and there is also no rental burden.In fact, it has a very low capital requirement.They now make up about…
Frances Power Cobbe and the Philosophy of Antivivisection
Frances Power Cobbe led the Victorian movement against vivisection. Cobbe is often remembered for her animal welfare campaigning, but it is rarely recognized that she approached animal welfare as a moral philosopher. In this article, I examine the philosophical basis of Cobbe's antivivisectionism. I concentrate on her 1875 article “The Moral Aspects of Vivisection,” in which Cobbe first locates vivisection within the historical movement of Wester…
Julia Wedgwood and the origin of language
This article provides the first detailed modern examination of Julia Wedgwood's interventions in the Victorian debate about the origin of language.Wedgwood wanted to understand language, consistently with Darwin's theory of evolution, as having evolved gradually out of other forms of animal behaviour.She focused specifically on imitative behaviours, siding with the imitative or "bow-wow" theory of language which her father Hensleigh Wedgwood also…
Frances Power Cobbe
This Element introduces the philosophy of Frances Power Cobbe (1822-1904), a very well-known moral theorist, advocate of animal welfare and women's rights, and critic of Darwinism and atheism in the Victorian era. After locating Cobbe's achievements within nineteenth-century British culture, this Element examines her duty-based moral theory of the 1850s and then her 1860s accounts of duties to animals, women's rights, and the mind and unconscious…
Bettina von Arnim's Romantic Philosophy in Die Günderode
This article puts forward a philosophical interpretation of Bettina von Arnim's epistolary book Die Günderode , in the following stages. First I situate von Arnim's work in relation to women's participation in early German Romanticism and idealism. The ideal of Symphilosophie , which was integral to Romantic epistemology, created possibilities for women to participate in philosophical discussion, albeit not on equal terms with men. This suggested…
The Aesthetic Theory of Frances Power Cobbe
This article contributes to recognizing and recovering women’s voices in the history of aesthetics by examining the aesthetic theory put forward in the 1860s by the Anglo-Irish philosopher and feminist Frances Power Cobbe. Cobbe addressed aesthetics and gender, maintaining that there are female geniuses. She addressed art and morality, arguing that art should always aim to express moral truth, and that artworks that express morally good thoughts …
Introduction to nineteenth-century British and American women philosophers
Since the 1980s, an immense wave of scholarship has recovered the voices of the many women who contributed to early modern philosophy, transforming our picture of the period. It is now typical for
Conflicts of Motherhood, Then and Now
This piece reflects on the changes in the author’s relationship with her daughter over the ten years since the inaugural issue of Studies in the Maternal was published, in conjunction with the ways that philosophical exploration of motherhood has developed over the same period
Hegel and Colonialism
This article explores the implications of Hegel’s Philosophy of World History with respect to colonialism. For Hegel, freedom can be recognized and practised only in classical, Christian and modern Europe; therefore, the world’s other peoples can acquire freedom only if Europeans impose their civilization upon them. Although this imposition denies freedom to colonized peoples, this denial is legitimate for Hegel because it is the sole condition o…
Martineau, Cobbe, and teleological progressivism
In this paper, I reconstruct the views on historical progress of two nineteenth-century English-speaking philosophical women, Harriet Martineau (1802–76) and Frances Power Cobbe (1822–1904). Martineau and Cobbe put forward theories of progress which I classify as versions of teleological progressivism. Their theories are bound up with their accounts of different world civilizations and religions, and their advancement towards either Christianity,…
Being Born
All human beings are born and all human beings die. In these two ways we are finite: our lives begin and our lives come to an end. Historically philosophers have concentrated attention on our mortality-and comparatively little has been said about being born and how it shapes our existence. Alison Stone sets out to overcome this oversight by providing a systematic philosophical account of how being born shapes our condition as human beings. Drawin…
H egel, G eorg W ilhelm F riedrich
This entry introduces the social and political thought of G. W. F. Hegel. Once viewed by critics such as Karl Popper as totalitarian, Hegel's political philosophy is now widely recognized as based on the core liberal value of individual freedom. Yet Hegel sets out to reconcile individual freedom with social membership. He does so by arguing that the central modern social institutions of family, civil society, and state enable individuals both to …
Stealing Lot’s Wife and Daughters From the Bible
This article is a response to Rozmarin’s re-reading of the biblical story of Lot’s wife in her article “Staying Alive” (this issue). I begin by filling out the intellectual background to and rationale for Rozmarin’s project, which is to re-interpret this story as offering an alternative to the Western cultural law of matricide. I consider some further alternative meanings contained in the figures of Lot’s wife and daughters inspired by but not wh…

Irigaray's Ecological Phenomenology
This article provides an interpretation of the ecophenomenological dimension of Luce Irigaray's work. It shows that Irigaray builds upon Heidegger's recovery of the ancient sense of nature as physis, self-emergence into presence. But, against Heidegger, Irigaray insists that self-emergence is a material process undergone by fluid elements, such as air and water, of which the world is basically composed. This article shows that this “elemental mat…
Adorno, Hegel, and Dialectic
This article explores critical theory's relations to German idealism by clarifying how Adorno's thought relates to Hegel's. Adorno's apparently mixed responses to Hegel centre on the dialectic and actually form a coherent whole. In his Logic, Hegel outlines the dialectical process by which categories - fundamental forms of thought and reality - necessarily follow one another in three stages: abstraction, dialectic proper, and the speculative (fam…

Feminism, Psychoanalysis, and Maternal Subjectivity
In this book, Alison Stone develops a feminist approach to maternal subjectivity. Stone argues that in the West the self has often been understood in opposition to the maternal body, so that one must separate oneself from the mother and maternal care-givers on whom one depended in childhood to become a self or, in modernity, an autonomous subject. These assumptions make it difficult to be a mother and a subject, an autonomous creator of meaning. …
Hegel, Naturalism and the Philosophy of Nature
In this article I consider whether Hegel is a naturalist or an anti-naturalist with respect to his philosophy of nature. I adopt a cluster-based approach to naturalism, on which positions are more or less naturalistic depending how many strands of the cluster naturalism they exemplify. I focus on two strands: belief that philosophy is continuous with the empirical sciences, and disbelief in supernatural entities. I argue that Hegel regards philos…
The Edinburgh Critical History of Nineteenth-Century Philosophy
This volume begins with the rise of German Idealism and Romanticism, traces the developments of naturalism, positivism, and materialism and of later-century attempts to combine idealist and naturalist modes of thought.Written by a team of leading international scholars this crucial period of philosophy is examined from the novel perspective of themes and lines of thought which cut across authors, disciplines, and national boundaries. This fresh a…
Female Subjectivity and Mother–Daughter Relations
In this article, Alison Stone reconsiders mother–daughter relations in the context of Christine Battersby's work, in which she attempts to resituate the female subject position as norm. Following Battersby's lead, Stone attempts to resituate the daughter's subject position as norm rather than as pathological, by virtue of the daughter's incomplete separation from her mother. It is argued that Luce Irigaray, who is also concerned to revalue mother…

Adorno and the disenchantment of nature
In this article I re-examine Adorno's and Horkheimer's account of the disenchantment of nature in Dialectic of Enlightenment. I argue that they identify disenchantment as a historical process whereby we have come to find natural things meaningless and completely intelligible. However, Adorno and Horkheimer believe that modernity not only rests on disenchantment but also tends to re-enchant nature, because it encourages us to think that its instit…
Against Matricide
In this article I critically re‐examine Julia Kristeva's view that becoming a speaking subject requires psychical matricide: violent separation from the maternal body. I propose an alternative, non‐matricidal conception of subjectivity, in part by drawing out anti‐matricidal strands in Kristeva's own thought, including her view that early mother–child relations are triangular. Whereas she understands this triangle in terms of a first imaginary fa…

From Political to Realist Essentialism
This paper re-examines debates surrounding Irigaray's 'essentialism', arguing that these debates have generated a widespread assumption that realist essentialism is philosophically untenable and that Irigaray must therefore be read as a non-realist, merely 'political', essentialist. I suggest that this assumption is unhelpful, as Irigaray's work shows increasing commitment to a realist form of essentialism. Moreover, I argue that political essent…
The Sex of Nature
I argue that Irigaray's recent work develops a theoretically cogent and politically radical form of realist essentialism. I suggest that she identifies sexual difference with a fundamental difference between the rhythms of percipient fluids constituting women's and men's bodies, supporting this with a philosophy of nature that she justifies phenomenologically and ethically. I explore the politics Irigaray derives from this philosophy, which affir…

Luce Irigaray and the philosophy of sexual difference
Alison Stone offers a feminist defence of the idea that sexual difference is natural, providing a novel interpretation of the later philosophy of Luce Irigaray. She defends Irigaray's unique form of essentialism and her rethinking of the relationship between nature and culture, showing how Irigaray's ideas can be reconciled with Judith Butler's performative conception of gender, through rethinking sexual difference in relation to German Romantic …

Unthought Nature
In response to Mader's and Deutscher's questions, the author defends her approach to reading Irigaray and Butler, which entails extending the ideas of these thinkers into areas of thought with which they do not engage directly themselves. This involves relating Irigaray's ideas to the tradition of the philosophy of nature and interpreting Butler as offering, in spite of her focus on the genealogy of claims about sex, also a theory of sex itself, …
