Feb. 12 is Lou Salomé’s birthday! Metaphysical in her leanings, vitalism-curious, a pioneer in psychoanalysis, and ready to talk about sex & gender in thought-provoking ways. Sometimes annoying; never boring. The Erotic is a philosophical classic. Excerpts in Women Philosophers.

I'm working on a lecture on philosophical method so have been re-reading Mary Midgley's 'Philosophical Plumbing'. She writes: 'Great philosophers, then, need a combination or gifts that is extremely rare. They must be lawyers as well as poets.' Lovely.
