Gender scholarship during the last four decades has shown that the exclusion of women's voices and perspectives has diminished academic disciplines in important ways. Traditional scholarship in philosophy is no different. The 'recovery project' in philosophy is engaged in re-discovering the names; lives; texts; and perspectives of women philosophers from the 6th Century BCE to the present. Karen Warren brings together 16 colleagues for a unique; groundbreaking study of Western philosophy which combines pairs of leading men and women philosophers over the past 2600 years; acknowledging and evaluating their contributions to foundational themes in philosophy; including epistemology; metaphysics; and ethics. Introductory essays; primary source readings; and commentaries comprise each chapter to offer a rich and accessible introduction to and evaluation of these vital philosophical contributions. A helpful appendix canvasses an extraordinary number of women philosophers for further discovery and study.

Phil Sheridan and his associate commanders.By Kevin M QuiggAfter Grant and Sherman; Sheridan rates as the most gifted Union General of the Civil War. However; Sheridan was a division commander until the last year of the war; when he became an Army commander. Sheridan's signal moment come in the Shenandoah Valley; where he exacted a revenge that burned the agriculture region for years to come. He beat up Early often; but never enough to cause the complete extinction of the Confederate Army in the Shenandoah Valley. His subordinates include George Custer; Wesley Merritt; and George Crook. Phil and these men had influence in the US Army until the 1900s. These were influential military men that determined the course of the US Army.This is an OK book about the last year of battles and Phil's associates. Phil Sheridan played a prominent role in the defeat of the Confederate States. This book shows the last year of battles and the men that played a role in Phil's fame.11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. A short discussion of some remarkable soldiersBy Colonel MoranThis short summary of Sheridan's role in the last year of the Civil War is an interesting introduction to the lives of a remarkable group of largely-forgotten soldiers. Merritt; Mackenzie; Crook; Upton; and Wilson were young; gifted; and tough officers who contributed to Union victory. Custer is remembered today because he blundered at the Little Bighorn. The others are seldom discussed because they died in bed after distinguished military careers both during and after the Civil War. The author does a nice job of educating us about their backgrounds and contributions. Pleasantly written; one finishes the book wanting to know more about this Band of Brothers that Sheridan drew around him in the Shenandoah and at Appomattox.
