A new look at the ideals of gendered reason in the history of philosophy with feminist theory

Reason as a philosophical concept has always been associated with male characters for centuries. For this reason, women have always been seen as devoid of reason and have been dealt with more by associating with the concept of nature. This, in turn, required a woman to fight for a more ordinary, shallower life. Because a man has reason, he has also acquired the entire power of reasoning and has taken the authority of a woman over himself. In this thesis, it will be given an emphasis on how the mind is related to masculinity in the history of philosophy and how women are positioned in this relatedness. In this direction, the opposition between men and women and mind and nature will be considered and interpreted from a feminist philosophical point of view. Thus, in this study, it will be tried to give the idea that mind, mind and thinking are not only male-specific concepts.
