About this book

Die 1743 in Deutschland erschienen Übersetzung der Institutions physiques wurde zu einem der wichtigsten philosophischen Bücher der deutschen Aufklärung. Wolff, Kant und Euler setzten sich intensiv mit den neuen Ideen auseinander, die Du Châtelet in ihrer Naturlehre präsentierte. Ihre Hypothesentheorie beeinflusste die Wissenschaftstheorie bis ins 20. Jahrhundert. 

  • Umfassende Einleitung zu Autorin, Werk und Wirkung
  • Eine der erfolgreichsten Autor*innen des 18. Jahrhunderts
  • Buch war sehr einflussreich für die deutsche Aufklärung
  • Immer noch relevant für die Wissenschaftstheorie

Hagengruber’s research is dedicated to the revision of patriarchal history, specially to the rediscovery of women’s alternative contributions to the history of philosophy and the history of economics, with a focus on circular and universality based economics as an approach to integrative economic ethics. She has published on value theory in Feminist Economics and reflects on technical design from a feminist and inclusive point of view, such as autonomous driving, a different approach to labour, and a profound recognition of creative skills. She specializes in the history of women philosophers.
