In The Suspicion of Virtue, John J. Conley, S. J., explores the moral philosophies developed by five women authors of that milieu: Madame de Sablé, Madame Deshoulières, Madame de la Sabliére, Mlle de la Vallière, and Madame de Maintenon. Through biography, extensive translation, commentary, and critical analysis, The Suspicion of Virtue presents the work of women who participated in the philosophical debates of the early modern period but who have been largely erased from the standard history of philosophy. Conley examines the various literary genres (maxim, ode, dialogue) in which these authors presented their moral theory. He also unveils the philosophical complexity of the arguments presented by these women and of the salon culture that nurtured their preoccupations. Their pointed critiques of virtue as a mask of vice, Conley asserts, are relevant to current controversy over the revival of virtue theory by contemporary ethicians. 606 $aWomen philosophers$zFrance$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen philosophers 676 $a194.082 700 $aConley$b John J.$0948953 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466674003321 996 $aThe suspicion of virtue$92469872 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01405nam 2200349Ia 450 001 996384526003316 005 20200818215125.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000075538 035 $a(EEBO)2240960696 035 $a(OCoLC)ocm12196013e 035 $a(OCoLC)12196013 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000075538 100 $a19850625d1642 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 12$aA letter to the Earle of Pembroke$b[electronic resource] /$ffrom Sir Edvvard Baynton in Glocester shewing the true manner how himselfe and Captaine Edward Eyre were surprised at Malmsbury by two lieutenant collonels under the Earl of Stamfords command upon pretended ground and contrary to some scandalous relations in print ; with the reasons inducing him formerly to seize upon Sir Edward Hungerford 210 $aLondon $cPrinted for Thomas Creake$dJanuary 22, 1642 [i.e. 1643] 215 $a[7] p 300 $aDated according to Lady-Day dating. 300 $aReproduction of original in Thomason Collection, British Library. 330 $aeebo-0158 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yCivil War, 1642-1649 700 $aBaynton$b Edward$cSir,$f1618?-1679.$01014575 801 0$bEAA 801 1$bEAA 801 2$bm/c 801 2$bUMI 801 2$bWaOLN 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996384526003316 996 $aA letter to the Earle of Pembroke$92407729 997 $aUNISA
