Praxis škola i feminizam: marksistički humanizam i nevolje s rodom
The Praxis School and Feminism: Marxist Humanism and the Gender Troubles

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we will not go into classical praxis topics in detail, but (1) after an introductory sketch on praxis orientation, especially of the Zagreb School, (2) we will try to complement the interpretative-analytical repertoire of praxis philosophy with a feminist reading of this world-famous intellectual tradition. We take as our starting point the position of women authors in the journal Praxis by considering their numerical representation, their specific theoretical concerns, and the gendered division of labour in the journal's editorial ranks. We will attempt to provide an answer to the neuralgic question of why very few women authors have published their own work in the ten years of Praxis's existence, but (3) at the same time deconstruct and analytically squeeze out the rare essays from the journal that we might read as having a theme related to the philosophy of gender. In this epistemological register (4), we will also briefly introduce the unique Marxist-feminist philosophy of the praxis theorist Blaženka Despot, whose work in the field of philosophy of gender is unfortunately not to be found in the pages of Praxis, but in some other publications.
