Il Postumanesimo femminista di Marie de Gournay

Abstract

In this essay I consider the conceptual constellation produced by modern skepticism, and I study his tracks in the speech of Marie de Gourany, one of the first feminists in Western history, who lived between the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century and who was a pupil of Montaigne one of the most important representatives of this school of thought. The modern skepticism has manifested indeed all its potential deconstructive in the meeting with feminist reflection on gender: a explosive encounter that has joined the fight against andropocentrism with the fight against anthropocentrism. Although produced by male hand, skepticism has been in fact, in the history, the form of reflection through which the patriarchal tradition began operating its deconstruction to make room for new ways of being and thinking: the posthumanist feminism is his the latest version and more mature.
