{"product_id":"9789086594504","title":"Calypso's Oath: On Biased Traditions in Philosophy","description":"\u003cp\u003eArguing that the history of philosophy too often provides one-sided views solely in favor of male thought, this book calls for readers to reevaluate several well-known texts from classical antiquity and to pay attention to the insights of women philosophers, from early champions of equal rights, such as Hipparchia and Olympe de Gouges, to present day thinkers, such as Hannah Arendt, Simone de Beauvoir, and Martha Nussbaum. This study shows, for example, how Homer’s character Calypso is typically viewed as an egoistic sex bomb, but when her protests against a double standard and her argument that rationality and empathy together form the basis of proper moral conduct are examined, they show her thoughts to be surprisingly modern. It is equally accessible for students and professor of philosophy as it is for lay people interested in the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VU University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47042225963248,"sku":"9789086594504","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789086594504_p0.jpg?v=1763671460","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789086594504","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
