    Natalia Mendes,

    Inácio Helfer,

    University of the Sinos Valley Editor-in-Chief

    The Unisinos Journal of Philosophy invites submissions for the special issue Modern Women Philosophers: Method, Problems, and Concepts. We welcome papers that explore the recovery and recognition of modern women philosophers, encouraging discussions on their contributions to philosophical thought, analysis of their arguments, and examination of their role in shaping the history of philosophy. The papers must explore philosophical problems or concepts discussed by women philosophers from the modern period — from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century — covering different areas and traditions of Philosophy or inaugurating new fields. We welcome contributions engaging with the works of women philosophers from Europe and North America, but also from Asian, African, and South American traditions.

    The contribution must engage with primary sources and provide an argumentative discussion of relevant secondary literature from the interpretative tradition. With this special issue, the editors would also like to

    encourage the philosophical community to engage with the international literature to explore methodological and metaphilosophical questions related to the recovery of women philosophers' works — for example, the philosophical status of the history of philosophy, the feminist history of philosophy, the formation of the philosophical canon and the historiography of philosophy.

    The Journal welcomes papers in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. The author must hold a PhD. The deadline for submissions is March 15th, 2025 and the special issue will be published in August 2025. Instructions for authors can be found here: Unisinos Journal of Philosophy.
