Platon i feminizam
Plato and the Feminism

Summary/Abstract: In this text, based on the parts of the Republic, author is dealing with two dominant feminist interpretations of Plato who is considered to be the first feminist thinker, on the one hand, or a misogynist, on the other. Although this interpretations are polarised, and, on the first glance, they represent extremly different views, intention of the author is to show that their origin is monofiletic, ie. it derives from their hronocentrism. Thus the historical position of Plato`s philosophy is neglected, and they prelude a pseudo-methodological space for plurality of interpretations from the utopian point of view. Feminists, like some other philosophers and common sense thinkers, due to those kinds of standpoins are dislocating Plato`s Republik into the sphere of utopian thought and the consecvence is degradation of precision in his philosophy to a level of some kind of an inspirational imaginarium. However, in those surveys Plato`s thought is represented like a pure autoreflection of their own standpoints, strategies, goals and distinctions which are immanent only to themselves and which are the features of contemporary experience in considering women emancipation and emancipation of the mankind in general. Further in the text author is trying to point out the relevance of the philosophical interpretations in the history of philosophical systems in general, and to clarify spirit of time, which, when it comest to women, contextualised Plato`s philosophy enclosing its own events and demands.
