 The Cavendish corpus is a tour de force, even if Cavendish was not recognized in her own lifetime for the extent of her intellectual prowess. She wrote eight philosophical monographs, and she crafted plays and poems and fictional pieces that exhibit philosophical arguments and thought experiments as  well.[7]  Her thinking has important implications and tentacles, providing us with insights into the place of human beings in nature, the distinction between the social and the natural, and the interdependence of creatures. She also made significant contributions on other philosophical topics like causation, perception, motion, agency, gender, God, and free will. Her views and arguments might also be interpreted as bearing on contemporary movements in deep ecology and environmental ethics. As we will see, she holds that human beings would benefit from emulating the behavior and thinking of nonhuman creatures – for example in the case of social organization. However, Cavendish does not appear to have the resources to make any normative claims about our impact on nature. She admires nature, but her list of the qualities that pertain to bodies include size, figure, motion, activity, thought, and perception, and not qualities like goodness and badness. She is also not especially concerned about the long-term viability of the natural world. It will be fine. As an eternal entity, it is not going anywhere, even if we happen to impact it in a way that leads to our own demise.
