Essay

The object of study – feminine subjectivity that represents itself through multiple levels of real life experience where different meanings of truth/lie manifest. The aim – reconsidering from the point of view of gender the traditionnal approach to the discourse of truth/lie as a structure that is based on the principle of sameness/ contradiction and excludes difference as a contradiction to the truth. Methods – gender analysis that implies the use of methods of postmodernism, poststructuralism, deconstruction and postfeminist analysis of feminine subjectivity. Theoretical results and their novelty – philosophical positions of Plato, Aristote, Augustin, Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Weininger are reinterpreted from the point of view of gender; as a result of reconsideration of the discourse of truth/lie, truth/lie are not linked in a rigid hierarchical opposition. The sphere of use – postulating a new approach to the subjectivity, gender study proves the necessity of practical social changings that are aimed at overcoming gender inequality.
