Christina Van Dyke brings to light a rich and neglected philosophical tradition: the writings of mystical and contemplative thinkers, mainly women, from the 13th to the 15th century. She show us how much we can learn today from their ideas on self-knowledge, reason (and its limits), love, persons, and immortality and the afterlife.
