A Womanʼs Body: Situation, Space, Time: The Philosophical Aspect

Abstract

This article is devoted to the philosophical and psychoanalytic aspects of a womanʼs body experience. Ideas about female physicality are presented in the works of T. Moi, I. M. Young, Z. Freud, K. Horney, etc. The existence of a woman is determined by the historical, cultural, social and economic framework of her position; abstract femininity does not exist, the historical epoch and cultural diversity affect the characteristics of femininity and the experience of the female body. Women identify themselves as women with body experience, the female body is constantly changing, transforming; it is an object of pleasure and desire of another. Psychological, cultural and social factors contribute to the fact that a woman takes a passive libidinal position of subordination and inequality.
