BMoral, hosted by the School of Philosophy at University College Dublin, Ireland is funded by an ERC Consolidator Grant and aims to rethink narratives about eighteenth-century British moral philosophy, which to the present day continue to focus predominantly on male authors, despite overwhelming evidence that women participated in the moral debates of this period.

​

The project will analyse a large corpus that is inclusive of moral writings by male and female authors and will shed new light on the intellectual networks in which male and female philosophers interacted. By bringing together computational digital humanities research with traditional philosophical methods of close reading and interpretation the project intends to overcome the marginalisation of women philosophers in histories of British moral philosophy and to advance methodological approaches to the history of philosophy.
