Filozofia feministyczna i autobiografia: wokół myśli Luce Irigaray

Abstract

The article discusses the relations between autobiography and feminist philosophy, taking Luce Irigaray’s thought as an example. Although traditional philosophy usually has been perceived as anti-biographical, as it divides philosophical concepts from its material roots, feminist philosophers and theoreticians exposed materiality of knowledge by stressing the importance of its bodily, sexuated, historical, and cultural situatedness. In this sense autobiography of feminist philosophies is understood as both, public and private, academic and personal, theoretical and practical, ontological and epistemological way of knowledge production.
