abstract:
Before any claim of right, there are obligation and responsibility. First, we have
an obligation towards ourselves. This fil rouge is detectable in the thinking of
some female philosophers of the Twentieth Century, e.g. Simone Weil, Hannah
Arendt and Jeanne Hersch. As a matter of fact, there is no thinking without any
real relationship with ourselves. This deep conviction has direct implications
for the political relevance of our capacity to think, which is one of the deepest
expressions of our singularity amidst human plurality.
