摘要

I have argued that Cavendish's vitalist materialism and her rejection of mechanism and atomism are unrelated to feminism, and that recent interpretations such as those of Battigelli, Brown, Keller, Merchant, Price, Rogers, and Wilputte are therefore unwarranted. In Blazing World, Cavendish does display an awareness of the ways in which power can be used to limit knowledge, but her attitude toward such uses of power is one that contemporary feminists would abhor. Nor is there any evidence that she had feminist aims in mind when commenting on her own career as a woman participating in the traditionally masculine activities of writing and thinking about natural philosophy. None of this makes Cavendish's natural philosophy any less interesting or historically valuable, but it does mean that future scholarship should abandon trying to make her out to be a protofeminist, and should focus instead on explicating and evaluating her arguments on their own terms.
