Sandrine Bergès Ordre des livres

Set against the backdrop of a mysterious disease ravaging Europe, the story follows Martha Freud as she grapples with the infection of her friend, Fritz Nietzsche. The narrative revolves around the urgent efforts of the Agency for the Protection of Europe against the Cannibalistic Wasting Disease, highlighting themes of friendship, desperation, and the quest for a cure in a time of crisis. The tension builds as the characters race against time to save not only their loved ones but also the continent from impending doom.

Olympe de Gouges, though a well-known historical figure, has not been investigated as a philosopher until quite recently. Yet, many of her writings have philosophical import, whether they are written in the genre of the philosophical treatise, drama or political pamphlets.

Telling the story of three overlooked revolutionary thinkers, Liberty in Their Names explores the lives and works of Olympe de Gouges, Sophie de Grouchy and Manon Roland. All three were thinking and writing about political philosophy, especially equality and social justice, before the French Revolution. As they became engaged in its efforts, their political writing became more urgent. At a time when women could neither vote nor speak at the Assembly, they became influential through their writings. Yet instead of Gouges, Grouchy and Roland, we speak of Voltaire, Rousseau and Diderot. Sandrine Bergès examines the lives and writings of these trailblazing women philosophers, and their impact on philosophical thought during the French Revolution. Featuring pictures, a timeline and a bibliography of their works, this book offers exciting new insights into the history of political philosophy and of the French Revolution.

This book introduces the major themes in Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and aids the reader in understanding this key work.
