Why Is Josina Carolina van Lynden Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Josina Carolina van Lynden was a Dutch philosopher who, in 1770, published a book on Logic, called De Logica of redenkunde. She was the first Dutch woman to publish on this topic. Van Lynden was the daughter of Dirk van Lynden en Heilwig van Lynden, member of a Dutch noble family. She lived with her parents in Huis de Parck, a castle in Gelderland. At the age of 25, she married with Adriaan Buurt, a local pastor. Their marriage was not approved by some members of her family as she was part of a noble family while her husband was not. They had managed to postpone the wedding till Josina became 25, but could not prevent them form marrying. She was encouraged by her husband to endeavour in philosophical thinking. Her other works were written in response to his showing the close connection in their thinking. Next to writing, she also taught religion and logic to higher society girls. Josina died on 6 October 1791, nine years after her husband, and was buried next to her husband at the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam.
