Fenomenología y feminismo

Abstract

This paper investigates the potential benefits of interrelation between phenomenology and feminism: First, the visibility of the women phenomenologists'works. It shows the potentialities of the phenomenological rehabilitation of experience, lived body (Leib), subjectivity (intentional and relational) and intersubjectivity. It is my contention that the feminist critique of patriarchal reason approaches the Husserlian critique of objectivism and, following Merleau-Ponty, it reclaims an enlarged reason. Phenomenology provides to feminism with operational categories that give meaning to the experiences of gender adopting towards these a reflexive attitude that contributes to shaping evolving identities within differences.
