CONDIȚIA FEMEII ÎN POLITICA LUI ARISTOTEL
THE CONDITION OF THE WOMAN IN ARISTOTLE'S POLITICS

Summary/Abstract: Despite recognizing women as a free being and asserting the need for precise rules on women's conduct, Aristotle does not have an original stance on the role of women in society. Criticizing the Platonic concept of the women's community, which he considers to be detrimental to the city and impossible to accomplish, he outlines his vision of the woman's ideal condition in terms very close to the role that the Greek city of his time usually accords to woman. Rejecting the authoritarian position that women have been able to acquire in Sparta, it reduces their social importance to the organization of the house, as wives, as well as to the birth and raising of children, that is, as mothers - which express an attitude of acceptance and legitimacy of the common practices of his time.
