O lugar da mulher na história da filosofia e no ensino de filosofia no nível médio

Abstract

The present research, titled The Place of Women in the History of Philosophy and in the Teaching of Philosophy at the High School Level, aims to verify the female representation in the History of Philosophy, analyzing textbooks in high school, aiming to insert other Philosophies into the high school curriculum structure, in addition to those that traditionally appear in the traditional curriculum component. We start from the assumption that, when there is no female representation in the teaching of Philosophy at the high school level, it is difficult to draw the students’ attention to delve into other knowledge. From the analysis of the theories presented, we will discuss the Eurocentric and misogynistic view of great theorists about the female figure throughout history. Later, we will present great thinkers and the barriers they had to overcome to gain a space in Philosophy, using as theoretical foundations the books: Philosophers: the presence of women in Philosophy and What philosophers think about women. After the analysis in this theoretical basis, we will deal with the creation of a curricular component, namely, the elective titled Women in the History of Philosophy, to be included in the catalog of electives of the State of Ceará. In order to instigate students to realize that there is the possibility of learning about great female thinkers and also awaken them to the possibility of doing other Philosophies that are not only those that are traditionally included in the common curricular component, motivating them to delve into the search for other epistemes. Finally, we also intend to awaken them to the inequalities existing between men and women, which women have had to go through and overcome from antiquity to the present day.
