Contribuciones de la Teoría de Género a la Antropología Filosófica

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to revise the androcentric bias found in philosophical anthropology, especially the presumption of universality and the constant tendency in the history of philosophy to disallow women the same consideration as men. Instead of anthropology it may be called «andrology». Such exclusion thwarts the very goals of philosophical anthropology. Only with the treatment of the historicity, materiality and experience of women, unexplored areas thus far, will allow an effective analysis of the operations of sexual difference. The perspective of women philosophers is crucial for rethinking the notion of the subject unhampered by androcentrism.
