Peer Review

I like the changes that you've made thus far to the article. I think you've added solid factual informative information that provides more detail to the reader. I think that the philosophy section is still lacking however in some regards. The overall manner in which section is written could be improved I think. The section is written more as a story detailing the correspondence between Descartes and Elisabeth as opposed to an examination of Elisabeth's philosophy through her writings. I think this especially comes through in the paragraph regarding the discussion about the passion of the souls, where the focus seems to be about Elisabeth's being sick over the philosophical underpinnings of the letters. You may want to consider restructuring the section to be more directly focused on the ideas themselves. I think this would also make it easier for readers to engage with the material and understand the philosophical importance of Elisabeth's writings. Indeed it may be a good idea, and I think you suggested this in your sandbox, to make this section into two separate sections, one about her own positions (maybe incorporating material from the other correspondences you've mentioned in the article), and one about her discourse with Descartes. That may be something to keep in mind. I would also say that the article sometimes uses language that isn't neutral, for example it says "Elisabeth rightly questioned how something immaterial" in the philosophy section. Finally, I think that a section on her impact in feminist history of philosophy that you mentioned in your sandbox would make a great addition to the article! I think that would be a great way to further show the importance of Elisabeth. Overall I think you've added good factual information to the article but could work more on making sure that Elisabeth's positions are represented well/clearly to the reader.

Peer Review Response

Thank you for the suggestions. I added the section on her contributions to the feminist history of philosophy. However, I did not split her correspondence with Descartes into two sections. I felt that the research I did was more focused on her role in the feminist history of philosophy rather than her correspondence. If I had more time with project, I really would have liked to have split up that section. I also tried to eliminate some of the problematic language you highlighted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caleb Jeffreys (talk • contribs) 04:32, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Change Name?

I've never seen her called Elisabeth of the Palatinate, only Elisabeth of Bohemia.45.52.49.96 (talk) 13:38, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Second this. Eschocat (talk) 11:31, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Leibniz and Malebranche Quakers?

In the section regarding her contributions to philosopher there is a sentence that implies that Leibniz and Malebranche are Quakers. "Elisabeth held correspondence with many others... and various Quakers. Among them most notably were Nicholas Malebranche, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz..." I understand labeling the others as quakers without complaint but I cannot find any reference to these two being Quakers. Is there some source for them being labeled as Quakers? Or can we reword this to remove this implication. Eschocat (talk) 11:31, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
