“Trom Eva, the temptress, to the moral authority figures such as Mary Wollstonecraft, Simone de Beauvoir and Martha Nussbaum, have sought to acquire or been granted by their readers, the history of the moral status of woman and women is a complex tale. The lecture will consider some moments in what must remain a disjointed narrative and the place political emotions holds within it”.

Sylvana Tomaselli parlerà di quello che è indubbiamente un racconto assai dibattuto a partire
da Eva, la tentatrice, alle figure di autorità morale come Mary Wollstonecraft, Simone de Beauvoir e Martha Nussbaum, che hanno cercato di acquisire o ottenuto dai loro lettori, la storia dello status morale della donna e delle donne.
Tomaselli prenderà in esame alcuni momenti di quella che possiamo considerare una narrazione disgiunta ma sostenuta dal ruolo del sentimento politico coevo.
