This book offers the first full-length consideration of Émilie du Châtelet and Immanuel Kant. Connections between these two figures have thus far been neglected despite a recent surge of scholarly interest in Du Châtelet and her work. This book explores Kant's direct engagement with Du Châtelet in his first published work and examines the extent to which Kant was influenced by key features of Du Châtelet's work, such as her theory of space and time, her distinctive version of idealism, and her account of mathematical objects as partly dependent on our faculty of imagination. By putting these philosophers in dialogue on such topics as fire and subtle matter; the nature of causation; scientific hypotheses; the constitution of matter; mathematical truth; and time and change, this book becomes a must-read for those interested in the history and philosophy of science.

Über den Autor Ruth (Hrsg.) Edith Hagengruber

Ruth Edith Hagengruber is a German philosopher and a professor of Philosophy at the University of Paderborn. Hagengruber’s research is dedicated to the rediscovery of women’s contributions to the history of philosophy. Before she founded the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists, her main research focused on the history of economic ideas, with a special interest on circular and universality based economics as an approach to integrative economic ethics. She has published on value theory in feminist economics and reflects on technical design from a feminist and inclusive point of view, such as autonomous driving, a different approach to labor, and a profound recognition of creative skills. Hagengruber is a founder and director of the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists and a founder of the research area EcoTechGender. She founded and co-edits the Journal for the History of Women Philosophers at Brill’s and the series Womens Philosophical heritage with De Gruyter.
