www.historyofphilosophy.net/cartesianism...

Why Cartesianism appealed to women and became the inspiration for a pioneering feminist, Poullain de la Barre; and why Cartesianism was not the only option for women philosophers of the age.

Although the project seems to have ended in March 2025, it's still bearing fruit, e.g., a conference just last week. So, still worth paying attention to.

Slavery and Abolition in Eighteenth-Century Philosophy
May 13-15, 2026
Emory University
Atlanta, Georgia
Call for Papers
Recent studies of eighteenth-century 
philosophy have generated incisive questions 
about the limitations of the moral and political 
insight of British and European philosophers 
who were invested in (or silent about) 
transatlantic slavery. During this period, the rapidly expanding traffic and enslavement of African 
people appears as a topic of common knowledge and discussion in religion, law, economics, 
literature, and drama. Writings by enslaved and self-emancipated women and men attested to the 
violence and degradation of the conditions of slavery, as well as to the hypocrisy of much of 
Western moral and political discourse. This symposium invites proposals (500 words) for 25-
minute presentations that consider writing about slavery and abolition both as and in conversation 
with eighteenth-century philosophy.
We expect to host 15-20 scholars whose presentations engage with these topics directly or 
indirectly:
Marronage and Slave Rebellions
Theology and Abolition
Economic Theory and Slavery
Black Abolitionists (in context)
Gender and Enslavement
Marriage and Slavery
Natural law and Slavery
Moral Philosophy and Slavery
Women Philosophers on Slavery
Colonialism and Slavery
Reparation and Restitution
Colorism and 18th-Century Theories of Race
Political Slavery
War and Slavery
Local Histories of Slavery in the Eighteenth-Century (Georgia)
Submission Deadline: October 15th, 2025
