Women's and Men's Attitudes

Paper Summary:

This paper presents an exploration of the differences between the bodies of men and women based on ancient and medieval texts, specifically using the logic of studying what a man is not in comparison to what a woman is.

From the Paper:

"The principal line of ancient and medieval argument about what makes women different from men comes down to what women cannot be, not so much because they are to be morally despised though they may be, as because systematic and thoughtful reason, logic and science make inescapable the conclusion that women cannot be male. That seems like a tautology until one makes a project of applying reason and logic to the task of understanding under what circumstances the not-male ontological condition of women could be sensibly and logically determined..."
