Acerca del autor (2022)

Mary Mills Patrick (1850-1940) was an eminent educator, philosopher, and a pioneer in women's higher education. Born in the United States, Patrick spent a significant part of her career in the Ottoman Empire, where she served as the president of the American College for Girls in Constantinople, modern-day Istanbul. Her scholarly contribution to the field of philosophy is well acknowledged through her seminal work 'Sextus Empiricus and Greek Scepticism' (1899), a detailed study on the Greek philosophical tradition of skepticism, epitomized by the works of Sextus Empiricus. This book remains a critical scholarly source for understanding the historical development and systematic approach of skepticism in Hellenistic philosophy. Patrick's literary style is marked by meticulous research and clarity of thought, reflecting her profound understanding of the philosophical doctrines and the historical contexts that shaped them. Her significant contributions extend beyond philosophy into education and the empowerment of women, aligning her with the key intellectual figures of her time influencing both Eastern and Western spheres of education. Patrick's body of work, leadership, and dedication to cross-cultural educational reform have made her a respected figure in academic and feminist circles.
