Essay from the year 2024 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the 20th century, grade: 1, Sofia University St. Klimment Ohridski (Philosophy), course: Epistemology, language: English, abstract: In this essay, I aim to elaborate on the framework and concepts that Luce Irigaray has utilized in her philosophy and place them in relation to an epistemological perspective. Some of the central notions and themes addressed by Irigaray are establishing sexual difference, constructing feminine subjectivity and changing the paternal/masculine Symbolic order. She prioritizes a critique of Western philosophical tradition, and two facets of this critique are rationalism and traditional subject-object binary that reveal the absence, repression or subjugation of the feminine. Irigaray emphasizes the power of feminine imaginary and the unconscious which can challenge as well as restructure established foundations of the Symbolic. The first section of this essay outlines the central notions of Irigaray¿s philosophical framework. The second section focuses on her ideas about feminine subjectivity, criticism towards rationalism, and subject-object divide inherent in Western thought, by integrating her concept of female imaginary. The third section looks at how Irigaray approached key male philosophers, particularly focusing on her reading of Platös allegory of the cave as a fundamental epistemological model. The last section focuses on Irigaray¿s understanding of the Symbolic order and its transformation for novel epistemological approaches.
