But what does it mean to be a woman philosopher in late antiquity? How is the inclusive nature of the Neoplatonic schools connected to their ethical, political, and metaphysical ideas? What role does the religious dimension of late Neoplatonism and the role of women as priestesses play in understanding Neoplatonic women philosophers? This book offers thirteen essays that examine women and the female in Neoplatonism from a variety of perspectives, paying particular attention to the interactions between the metaphysics, psychology, and ethics. 410 0$aStudies in Platonism, Neoplatonism, and the Platonic Tradition ;$v30. 606 $aPhilosophy, Medieval 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 606 $aPhilosophy 615 0$aPhilosophy, Medieval. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 676 $a109 702 $aSchultz$b Jana 702 $aWilberding$b James 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910984634503321 996 $aWomen and the Female in Neoplatonism$94333506 997 $aUNINA
