Eveline Groot

Eveline Groot is a Researcher and External PhD candidate at the Erasmus School of Philosophy, Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her doctoral research examines Madame de Staël's political philosophy (1766-1817), focusing on the interplay between reason, passions, and morality within a female liberal perspective.

Her research spans History of Philosophy, Political Philosophy, and Gender Studies, with concentrated expertise in 18th-19th Century Philosophy, Women Philosophers, and Sentimentality theory. She critically analyzes historical frameworks of political passions while investigating modern manifestations like Cancel Culture through philosophical lenses, emphasizing gender representation in philosophical canons and the ethical dimensions of public discourse.

Analysis of her publications reveals consistent thematic threads connecting historical political philosophy to contemporary societal debates. Her work demonstrates how de Staël's theories on passions and public opinion provide crucial insights for understanding modern cancel culture dynamics and gender representation challenges, bridging Enlightenment-era thought with 21st-century social phenomena through rigorous philosophical analysis.
