商品描述

This book examines the contributions of women to the history of philosophy and medicine, as well as the traditional medical knowledge that has been employed in households. Women have played integral roles in the history of medicine, often serving as healers, caretakers, midwives and guardians of traditional knowledge surrounding food, plants, remedies, and healing practices. However, women's writings are often overlooked or marginalized in mainstream narratives because they did not write in the scientific language of Latin, and because their writings were not in the conventional form of a published book. The work, therefore, considers a diverse range of women, from Hildegard von Bingen and Oliva Sabuco to Maria Deraismes in the 19th century, midwives in Germany and numerous other women in European households. It demonstrates the significant influence of female knowledge and practices in the field of medicine, remedies, chemistry and healing practices. The chapters predominantly reflect on plants, food and practical remedies used and tested by women. Those engaged in research or teaching on the history of philosophy and medicine will find this collection invaluable, as it offers insights into a domain that has been relatively unexplored and lacks a substantial corpus of documented evidence.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書探討了女性對哲學和醫學歷史的貢獻，以及在家庭中使用的傳統醫療知識。女性在醫學歷史中扮演了不可或缺的角色，經常擔任治療者、照顧者、助產士以及傳統知識的守護者，這些知識圍繞著食物、植物、療法和治療實踐。然而，女性的著作常常在主流敘事中被忽視或邊緣化，因為她們沒有使用拉丁語這種科學語言來寫作，且她們的著作並不符合傳統出版書籍的形式。因此，本書考慮了多位不同的女性，從希爾德加德·冯·賓根（Hildegard von Bingen）和奧利瓦·薩布科（Oliva Sabuco）到19世紀的瑪麗亞·德拉伊斯梅斯（Maria Deraismes）、德國的助產士以及其他許多歐洲家庭中的女性。它展示了女性知識和實踐在醫學、療法、化學和治療實踐領域中的重要影響。各章節主要反映了女性使用和測試的植物、食物和實用療法。從事哲學和醫學歷史研究或教學的人士將會發現這本書的收藏非常珍貴，因為它提供了對一個相對未被探索且缺乏實質文獻證據的領域的深入見解。

作者簡介

Jil Muller is Postdoctoral Fellow at Paderborn University and Deputy Head of the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists in Paderborn, Germany. Her research is twofold: on the one hand, she is interested in the medical traditions of 16th and 17th century women and men philosophers and scientists and their understanding of the body, mechanism and humourism. She has published articles on Descartes' physiology and anatomy, on his correspondence with Elisabeth of Bohemia and on Montaigne's illness. On the other hand, she works on the moral theories of women philosophers and scientists of the early modern period, such as Marie de Gournay, Sophie Germain and Émilie du Châtelet. In her work, she always tries to combine both fields of research. She recently has edited two books Women and their Body (Berlin and New York: de Gruyter 2025) and Automata, Cyborgs and Mutants: Eccentric Bodies from Humanism to Transhumanism (New York: Palgrave Macmillan forthcoming).

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

吉爾·穆勒是德國帕德博恩大學的博士後研究員，並擔任帕德博恩女性哲學家與科學家歷史中心的副主任。她的研究有兩個方面：一方面，她對16世紀和17世紀的女性及男性哲學家和科學家的醫學傳統及其對身體、機制和體液說的理解感興趣。她發表了有關笛卡爾的生理學和解剖學、他與波希米亞的伊莉莎白的通信以及蒙田的疾病的文章。另一方面，她研究早期現代女性哲學家和科學家的道德理論，如瑪麗·德·古爾奈、索菲·熱爾曼和艾米莉·杜·查特萊。在她的工作中，她總是試圖結合這兩個研究領域。她最近編輯了兩本書，分別是《女性與她們的身體》（柏林和紐約：de Gruyter 2025）和《自動機、半人馬與變種人：從人文主義到超人類主義的怪異身體》（紐約：Palgrave Macmillan 即將出版）。
