Contenu
This book brings together essential writings by the unjustly neglected nineteenth-century philosopher Frances Power Cobbe (1822-1904). A prominent ethicist, feminist, champion of animal welfare, and critic of Darwinism and atheism, Cobbe was very well known and highly regarded in the Victorian era. Together, these writings demonstrate the range, systematicity and philosophical character of Cobbe's work and make her core ethical theory and its central applications and developments available for teaching and scholarship.
