Charlotte Witt

Charlotte Witt (born 27 September 1951) is an emeritus professor of philosophy and humanities at the University of New Hampshire.

[1] Witt double majored at Swarthmore College, graduating in 1975 with degrees both classics and philosophy.

[2] Witt's research has generally focused on ancient philosophy, metaphysics and feminist theory.

[2] She has also edited several volumes, including A Mind of One's Own: Feminist Essays on Reason and Objectivity (1992; revised and expanded second edition, 2001) and Adoption Matters: Feminist and Philosophical Essays (2005).

Witt argues that Metaphysics IX is not intended as a sequel to earlier books, but can stand on its own, since it contains a coherent argument (framed around an examination of different ways of existing) that is aimed at achieving a separate goal from the other volumes of Aristotle's Metaphysics.
