The Concept Of Woman: Volume III The Search For The Communion Of Persons 1500-2015

When you enter into The Concept of Woman: Search for Communion of Persons (1500-2015), a world full of authors who wrote about woman’s identity will open before you. Some of these women and men will be familiar and others completely unknown to you. Since their words and arguments are placed in relation to one another, they invite you to enter into their dialogue. Since “truth persuades by its own gentle power,” you cannot only follow their thinking but also judge for yourself the merit of their views.

Each person who wrote about woman’s identity in relation to man is treated with respect, while errors in their positions are pointed out. Philosophers over the centuries sometimes correct errors of previous authors. They use evidence of the senses and reason for their positions. At other times, authors build upon the errors of others, until reason and time crash the specious arguments. In this volume, you will discover how past errors in the four categories of the concept of woman (opposites, generation, wisdom, and virtue) have been corrected through developments in science, mathematics, religion, philosophy, and politics in the Western world. You will also discover the interactions of authors in four different communities of discourse about woman’s identity: academic, humanist, religious, and satirical.
