Feminist Philosophy Quarterly Volume 9 | Issue 4 Article 4 2023 Self-Improvement in Astellian Friendship Tyra Lennie McMaster University lenniet@mcmaster.ca Abstract In this article, I argue that existing literature discounts the role of self-improvement in Astellian friendship. To make this element central, I show how an Epicurean analysis of Astellian friendship brings self-improvement clearly into focus. On the way to centering self-improvement, I show how extant accounts imply self-improvement without explicitly setting up the architecture to explain this element of Astellian friendship. Self-improvement is centralized by way of three shared themes between the Epicurean Garden and the Astellian religious retirement: the motivation to enter, the project inside, and the manner of friendship. Keywords: Mary Astell, early modern philosophy, Epicurus, self-improvement, friendship

Rawlsian anti-capitalist environmental justice ORCID: 0000-0002-9472-8056 Received: 15/03/2023 Accepted: 20/01/2024 Tyra Lennie, McMaster University, lenniet@mcmaster.ca Funding: Work is funded by a SSHRC (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council) Doctoral Fellowship. ABSTRACT In this paper, I examine John Rawls’ claim (1971, p. 17) that Justice as Fairness cannot include considerations about the environment and non-human animals, given that “the status of the natural world and our proper relation to it is not a constitutional essential or a basic question of justice” (Rawls, 1993, p. 246). The paper scrutinizes this perspective and argues that securing a Rawlsian well-ordered society is not possible without concern for the rest of nature. Through a more charitable reading that draws from anti-capitalist and environmental justice frameworks, we can discern how Rawlsian justice tightly connects to these issues. I conclude that the Rawlsian well-ordered society must be committed to anti-capitalist environmental justice. KEYWORDS Rawls; environmental justice; political philosophy; anti-capitalism

Wonder Struck by Helen de Cruz | Institute for Social Concerns Last week a student told me his dyslexia both made him unusually creative and gave him a special sense of wonder. From what I knew of him, the claim made intuitive sense to me. He is the kind of wildl...

An editor saw the potential of this novella and published it. It's selling well and has glowing reviews. Yet it was rejected so many times. I knew it's a good story. Don't give up. www.amazon.com/Artistry-Mag...

This whole series has been enlightening and very accessible while still going deep into the Philosophical background. Really valuable given, "the situation". @ellieanderphd.bsky.social

The Other (Woman): Limits of Knowledge in Beauvoir's Ethics of Reciprocity The Other (Woman): Limits of Knowledge in Beauvoir's Ethics of Reciprocity

It's been a decade since my first publication in a philosophy journal! I'm still proud of this 2014 article, an analysis of Beauvoir's ethics through a reading of the ménage à trois in her novel She Came to Stay

This July 4, I think about my Cuban friends who’ve served at Guantánamo, protecting Cuba’s border with the 125-year illegal US naval base. They wake up hearing the US anthem blasted on Cuban soil. On July 4 they have to listen to fireworks blasted by their imperialist occupiers.
