Materiality and Power in Translation
This chapter explores how Lucy Hutchinson's translation of Lucretius sheds light on the unique power women found in Epicurean philosophy, contrasting conventional scientific practices and women's historical association with materiality. It examines the alignment of men with transcendence and women with materiality, touching on Kant's sublime and the influence of Thomas Creeches's translations.
