Philosophy

Project Vox seeks to highlight philosophical works from marginalized individuals traditionally excluded from the philosophical canon. On the Project Vox team, we define marginalized voices as those not included in the European male-centric canon, which generally excludes people of color. Although these marginalized voices were often popular in their time, through historiographical and institutional efforts their voices were obscured from philosophical study. Our project, therefore, is to offer an accurate historical record of the philosophical ideas and people throughout history. Project Vox began with a focus on early modern women. However, the year 2021 marked a shift, as the philosophers newly featured on Vox lived outside of Europe (Sor Juana) and beyond the early modern period (Lady Mary Shepherd). We are committed to continuing to expand and challenge the history of philosophy by promoting inclusivity and diversity.
