| Summary: | Hipparchia's Choice starts with an anecdote, or is it a fantasy? A young woman is sitting in front of a panel of examiners, defending her heavy thesis on Kant. ‘“Madame”, one of the examiners says, “Madame, in your bibliography you have omitted to cite Nabert! How, Madame, could you have forgotten Nabert? Nabert whose fine Kantian beard everyone remembers. And when I speak of Nabert's Kantian beard … I simply mean that all the great commentators on Kant have always worn fine patriarchal beards like Nabert's”’. (p. xi), Hipparchia's Choice has been dedicated to women who, like this PhD candidate, enter the world of philosophy, which does not always expect or readily accept them. |
