Martha Lane Fox and Philosophy on Woman's Hour

Martha Lane Fox

Yesterday on the radio Martha Lane Fox was being interviewed.  Hers is a remarkable story of courage  of clarity of thinking.  This blogger who is interested in the way the mind and body can be observed especially liked her description of the old English or was it British virtue of denial.  In her case, this meant she worked both with and independently of the pains in the body, not allowing them to rule her real life.  I hope I have got this right Martha, but you are now on my list of heroines.

You will also hear about female philosophers being sexually harassed in universities.  What a pity that philosophy should be allowed to be dragged into trouble through academia, when it is the most wonderful subject for anyone who wants to examine life. Of course, philosophically-minded Grannies are unlikely to be the subject of sexual harassment which is an advantage to Granniedom but we would like young women to be allowed the same freedom through philosophy and send best wishes to the two splendid lady philosophy professors who are out there holding up a banner for wisdom.
So, more heroes and heroines; Martha Lane Fox, Heidegger, Plato and Plotinus for today.
