KSENIJA ATANASIJEVIĆ O ŽENAMA I ŽENSKOM PITANJU U ANTIČKOJ FILOZOFIJI
KSENIJA ATANASIJEVIĆ ON THE WOMEN PHILOSOPHERS AND THE WOMAN QUESTION IN ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I will attempt to interpret critically two mutually linked aspects of the philosophical work of Ksenija Atanasijević. That is to say, my study will focus both on her elucidation of the “emancipation of women” in Plato and Rufus, and on the life and work of the Greek women philosophers. Among these topics, the most important one is Plato’s argument in favor of the “women’s emancipation”, which produced many controversial and mutually opposed interpretations. I will attempt to examine the interpretation of Ksenija Atanasijević by comparing and contrasting it with the most relevant interpretations of this part of Republic. The purpose of this critical analysis is to establish how adequate and relevant Ksenija Atanasijevic’s readings of proto-feminist reflections of Plato and Rufus are, as well as that of Greek women philosophers.
