      abstract = {The present book contextualizes Du Chatelets contribution  to the philosophy of her time. The editor offers this  tribute to an Epoque Emilienne as a collection of  innovative papers on Emilie Du Chatelets powerful  philosophy and legacy. Du Chatelet was an outstanding  figure in the era she lived in. Her work and achievements  were unique, though not an exception in the 18th century,  which did not lack outstanding women. Her personal  intellectual education, her scholarly network and her  mental acumen were celebrated in her time, perceiving her  to have multiplied nine figures by nine figures in her  head. She was able to gain access to institutions which  were normally denied to women. To call an epoch an Epoque  Emilienne may be seen as daring and audacious, but it will  not be the last time if we continue to bring women  philosophers back into the memory of the history of  philosophy. The contributors paid attention to the  philosophical state of the art, which forms the background  to Du Chatelets philosophy. They follow the transformation  of philosophical concepts under her pen and retrace the  impact of her ideas. The book is of interest to scholars  working in the history of philosophy as well as in gender  studies. It is of special interest for scholars working on  the 18th century, Kant, Leibniz, Wolff, Newton and the  European Enlightenment.},
