Frances Power Cobbe: Great Women Thinkers: Great Women Thinkers
Autor Sarah Scotten Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 ian 2027
Drawing on Cobbe’s books, pamphlets, and correspondence, the volume examines her theistic, Kantian-inspired ethics and her role as a public moralist shaping debates on women’s rights, domestic abuse, and animal welfare. It situates her among contemporaries such as John Stuart Mill and Charles Darwin, and traces how her philosophical arguments informed activism, legislative reform, and the anti-vivisection movement.
Key themes include:
• Kantian-inspired feminism
• Theories of cruelty and “heteropathy”
• Vivisection as “torture” and the emergence of animal rights
• Strategies of philosophical and activist persuasion
This book is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students in Philosophy, Gender Studies, Animal Studies, Religious Studies, and related fields, and will also appeal to readers interested in early feminist and animal protection movements.

Recenzii
"Sarah Scott makes an essential expansion to the canon in this meticulously researched and rigorously argued analysis of Frances Power Cobbe as an important early scholar of Kant. This book is the first to fully develop the Kantian shape of Cobbe’s arguments, and to position her work as a feminist and animal rights activist through her philosophical commitments. Scott compellingly makes the case for Cobbe as a fully-realized philosophical force and an inspiration for contemporary feminist scholars and activists."
- Jordan Pascoe, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Binghamton University, USA
"For too long, Frances Power Cobbe, founder of the world’s first anti-vivisection society, has been written out of traditional accounts of early animal advocacy. In this fascinating and timely project of historical reclamation, Sarah Scott restores one of the most important feminist intellectuals and social reformers of the 19th century to her proper height. As Scott shows, Cobbes’ unique Kantian defense of animal inviolability, formulated in fierce opposition to utilitarianism, remains as relevant to today's debates in animal ethics as it was to those of Cobbe’s time."
- John Sanbonmatsu, Professor of Philosophy at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts, USA
"Scott’s rich, vibrant account of Frances Power Cobbe’s moral philosophy restores her into the history of ethics and makes clear that her ideas remain very relevant today. Scott brilliantly shows how Cobbe reconceived the moral status of animals and women, transforming her own time and thinking far ahead of it."
- Alison Stone, Professor of European Philosophy in the Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion at Lancaster University, UK
"Sarah Scott’s encompassing study of Frances Power Cobbe is revelatory and timely. That the theologian, philosopher, feminist, and animal rights activist was ‘canceled’ in her own lifetime, and still remains unknown among too many scholars and activists in those fields is, in fact, a testament to how timely and essential this work is. Frances Power Cobbe is a vivid reclamation of a sui generis individual; a reminder of the role of women in social justice movements, and how often they are silenced or forgotten; and a powerful representation of a mind that refused to be siloed or to stay in its lane."
