Women Philosophers on Economics, Technology, Environment, and Gender History
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Women Philosophers on Economics, Technology, Environment, and Gender History

Abstract

What role can feminist philosophy play in the creation and consolidation of democracy? In its enlightened origins, feminist philosophy posed the incompleteness of democracy if women were not included as political subjects. Later, in the 20th century, authors such as Carole Pateman or Anne Phillips questioned the theoretical framework of democracy and citizenship, revealing the sexual contract, the disorder of the private sphere and the importance of a politics of presence. In this paper I present the role that feminist philosophy has played in the consolidation of democracy in Spain. Spanish feminist philosophers in the 1980s highlighted the necessary interdependence between gender equality, modernity, and democracy. To a large extent, the feminism of those years was part of an enlightened feminism of equality that argued for the extension of rights for women. Their inclusion in the political debates of the time managed to influence political institutions and set a solid related conceptual framework that was later going to converge into important legal measures.
