When you read the title of this paper, what likely comes to mind is images of Koala bears being rescued from bush fires, or of injured raccoons and deer, being rehabilitated after a hurricane. These are examples of humanitarian assistance for wild animals, but they’re not what this paper is primarily about. The need for humanitarian assistance in the wild far exceeds the damage caused by natural disasters. Severe suffering is pervasive in nature. It’s built into natural processes, and thus it’s the norm rather than the exception.

This history of philosophy is a history of men. Or at least, that’s how it has been told over the past several hundred years. But, over the last few decades, we’ve begun to see more and more recognition of women philosophers and the huge impact that they have had on the course of our discipline. There have always been philosophers who happened to be women. Hypatia of Alexandria was known by her contemporaries simply as The Philosopher, and hundreds of young men travelled from throughout the region to attend her public lectures. Philosophers who happen to be women, then, are nothing new. But our failure to recognise them as full contributors to the subject makes them appear to us as something of a surprise. A result of this is that women are often remembered as women first: they are seen more as women than they’re seen as philosophers.
