On Not Teaching the History of Philosophy

Thematic Cluster/Special IssueThe History of Women in Philosophy
AbstractCourses in the history of philosophy which exclude contributions made by women cannot legitimately claim to teach this history. This is true, not merely because those histories are incomplete, but rather because they give a biased account. I sketch the difficulties thus posed for the profession, and offer suggestions for developing a less biased, more accurate understanding of the history of philosophy.
