Feminism and vocation of woman
Anto Mišić
Sažetak
Though either feminism or vocation of women are not typically philosophical (metaphysical) topics, philosophical thinking helps to better comprehend women, their relationships and role in society. Without an accurate understanding of human nature, which belongs equally to men and women, it is easy to fall in partiality and exclusiveness of standpoints and action. The human nature as well as personality belongs, of course, equally to both men and women, but it realizes itself in them differently.
Because of differences the human nature is differently accomplished, its richness is in individual persons dissimilarly achieved. Men actualize their human nature in a »man's« manner and women in a »women's« way. The vocation of women is not to become men, and inversely. They are called to participate together in the creation of new life, in shaping of history and culture, in a continuous collaboration and mutual completion. Woman as »the soul of the world« is invited to realize her metaphysical motherhood in »serving« which is not subordination or servitude but love. If love is the essential term of reference of female nature, and love manifests itself most of all in the service to life, to the defence of everything beautiful and noble, the main ontological role of women consists in »serving« in a sense of a metaphysical, universal motherhood.
