Well-Ordered Universe

The Philosophy of Margaret Cavendish

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Well-Ordered Universe argues that Cavendish's natural philosophy, social and political philosophy, and medical theory share an underlying concern with order. This reveals interesting connections among Cavendish's natural philosophy and her views on gender, animals and the environment, and human health, and explains her commitment to monarchy and social hierarchy.
