主持人:本期节目讨论了18世纪重要的女性主义哲学家玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特的生平和思想。节目首先介绍了皇家仁慈协会的起源及其对沃斯通克拉夫特的帮助,接着探讨了沃斯通克拉夫特如何挑战当时的社会习俗,以及她为何认为当时的女性实质上是她们丈夫的奴隶。最后,节目反思了社会延续至今的行为塑造,以及在对现状不满时如何推动变革。沃斯通克拉夫特出生在一个保守的家庭,童年经历了父母关系不和以及父亲对母亲的暴力,这让她从小就展现出保护女性、挑战社会习俗的勇气。她帮助姐姐逃离了不幸的婚姻,并在担任家庭教师期间,观察到女性被社会塑造成为顺从的妻子,沦为丈夫的性奴隶。她批判了卢梭等启蒙思想家对女性教育的观点,认为这种观点导致了女性的压迫和不平等,并通过教育改变了四位年轻女孩的人生轨迹。沃斯通克拉夫特反对墨守成规,认为传统是导致女性压迫的原因之一,她反对婚姻制度,认为婚姻是女性的合法奴役。她质疑了女性劣势的根源,并指出启蒙思想家们对平等的追求并未真正惠及女性。沃斯通克拉夫特死后因其生活方式受到谴责,但她坚持自己的观点,并为女性争取平等权利做出了巨大贡献。节目最后反思了社会对成功的定义是不断变化的,以及我们应该如何反思自身被塑造的方式。

Shownotes Transcript

On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the feminist philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft. First, we learn about the unexpected origin of The Royal Humane Society and how they assisted Mary Wollstonecraft. Next, we learn about the many ways Wollstonecraft challenged societal conventions and why she believed that women were essentially slaves to their husbands during her time. Finally, we consider the behavioral conditioning that is perpetuated by society even today and think about how we enact change when we’re not satisfied with the results. All this and more on the latest episode of Philosophize This!
