Introduction -- Changing the Story: Christine's Construction of Difference -- This is Not the Same: Irigaray and Difference through Story -- Reading Stories into Action: Christine on Memory, Politics, and Learning -- Changing the Story: Tradition, Imagination, and the Interpretive Work of Possibility -- Epilogue: A Tale of Two Sisters.

This book bridges medieval and contemporary philosophical thinkers, examining the relationship between fiction and philosophy for bringing about social change. Drawing on the philosophical reading and writing practices of medieval author Christine de Pizan and twentieth-century philosopher Luce Irigaray, and through an engagement with Hans-Georg Gadamer's work on tradition and hermeneutics, it develops means to re-write the stories and ideas that shape society. It argues that reading for change is possible; by increasing our capacity to perceive and engage tradition, we become more capable of positively shaping the forces that shape us. Following the example of the two women whose work it explores, Story and Philosophy works through philosophy and narrative to deeply transform the allegorical, political, and continental tradition it engages. It is essential reading for students and scholars interested in medieval studies, feminist studies, and critical theory.
