Aristotelov seksizem

diplomsko delo

Manja Omerzu (Author), Boris Vezjak (Mentor)

Abstract

Aristotel je ženske velikokrat označil kot manjvredne ter podrejene moškim, ta vidik pa je še posebej izražen v njegovem delu Politika. V ospredju pa je predvsem sedem seksističnih trditev, ki jih je moč zaslediti na področju Aristotelove biologije: (1) ženska je nepopoln moški; (2) ženska predstavlja odklon od oblike; (3) najbolj idealen potomec je sin, podoben svojemu očetu; (4) ženska se anatomsko razlikuje od moškega; (5) moški so tisti, ki vladajo, ženske pa tiste, ki ubogajo; (6) vloga žensk v razmnoževanju je podrejena ter (7) ženske so sposobne resničnega mnenja, le moški pa védenja. Njegova stališča so naletela na močan odziv s strani kritikov, ki Aristotela označujejo kot enega največjih seksistov, na drugi strani pa številni avtorji navajajo, da (predvsem njegova biologija) ne temelji na seksističnih predsodkih. V diplomskem delu smo z metodo komparativne analize prikazali splošen pregled omenjene tematike, pri čemer smo v prvem delu obravnavali področje biologije, ta pogled pa smo v drugem delu dopolnili še z Aristotelovimi trditvami na področju politike in metafizike. Za Aristotela je ženska nežnejši, manj pogumen spol, ki se podreja moškemu. Ker so ženske sposobne le resničnega mnenja, je filozofija rezervirana izključno za moške. Manjvredna pa je tudi vloga žensk v razmnoževanju, saj prispevajo le materialni vzrok. Pokazali smo, da kljub njegovim izjemnim dognanjem ne le na področju biologije, temveč v celotni filozofiji, Aristotel žensko smatra kot neenakovredno in podrejeno moškemu.

Secondary title:	Aristotle as a misogynist
Secondary abstract:	Aristotle often described women as inferior and subordinate to men, this point of view in particular is evident in his work Politics. There are numerous sexist statements in the foreground which can be found in the field of Aristotle's biology: (1) a female is a a disabled male; (2) females represent a deviation from the kind; (3) the ideal offspring is a male that perfectly resembles his father; (4) male and female are anatomically different; (5) the relation of male to female is ruler to ruled; (6) women's role in reproduction is inferior; (7) women are capable of a true opinion while males have the knowledge. His views were met with strong responses from the critics which describe Aristotle as one of the greatest sexists, on the other hand, many authors state (his biology in particular) is not based on sexist prejudices. In the diploma we showed a general overview of the themes mentioned above, with the method of comparative analysis, where we discussed the field of biology in the first part of the diploma and we supplemented this view with Aristotle's statements on politics and metaphysics. For Aristotle, a female is a gentle, less brave sex that subjects herself to a male's rule. Because women are capable only of a true opinion, the philosophy is reserved exclusively for men. The role of women in reproduction is also inferior to men because they contribute only a material cause. We have shown that despite his exceptionality not only in the field of biology but in the entire philosophy, Aristotle considered women as unequal to men.
