  • Summary

  • In this episode of The Philosopher’s Throne, we explore the often-overlooked contributions of three pioneering women philosophers: Diotima, Hypatia, and Aspasia. From Diotima’s teachings on love in Plato’s Symposium to Hypatia’s role in advancing mathematics and philosophy in Alexandria, and Aspasia’s influence on Athenian rhetoric, these remarkable women shaped the intellectual landscape of the ancient world. Join us as we uncover their stories, challenge historical silences, and highlight their lasting impact on philosophy. Discover how these thinkers defied the odds and helped lay the foundations for philosophical thought, despite the limitations of their time.
