UNIVERSALITY AND GENDER
GORDANA BOSANAC
Sažetak
The existence and appreciation of so-called universal values inevitably extends conceptual-logical framework of the phenomenon that was known as problem of universalities in European philosophical tradition. The conceptual-logical order was attributed (or implicitly understood) with the order of value generalities that function in a logical manner, i.e. by force of general validity. Besides that, universalities in the value field do not have to have logical function (the possible alternatives being: artistic, sensible, affectionate). Indeed, the logical function of tokening is replaced with the function of the identification of belonging to something. The distinct feature of human beings' belonging to humanity as an universal value (subsequently, to universals of particular order) must be proven repeatedly. This is precisely due to the fact there is only outer and no inner criteria, although Heraclitus claims: »Logos is one and the same for all, although everyone believes that they have their own reason.« However, the logos of the human kind is not recognized in itself. The process of proving the belonging of human beings (women, the coloured, the deprived) to humankind radicalizes the issue of an »equal world for all« and especially the question of the way in which the gender/sex difference destruct the universality of humanity.
