ANTIQUITY PHILOSOPHY: THE WOMAN AS STRANGE OBJECT OF THINKING

Abstract

This article displays analysis of perception
of womans subjectivity through the prism
of ancient philosophy, this analysis being the starting
point in understanding womans nature and
substance, and afterwards having been dominating
for centuries, which is also echoed now. It goes without
saying that this basis, built on the framework of
negative generalized by ancient philosophers image
of a woman as a subman, defective, defi cient and
desecrated creature, exerted its greatest infl uence
on forming of womans identity and for this reason
should be explored thoroughly and in all details.
Moreover today womans refl ection in mans window
of the soul is clouded and hidden in the depth.
