Does Aristotle include women under youth |
|
Answer» Answer: Aristotle, Plato's student and colleague at the Academy in Athens, BELIEVED that women were FIT only to be the subjects of MALE rule. Women have the deliberative part of the soul, he said, but it isn't sovereign in nature: they are born to be ruled by MEN in a constitutional sense, as citizens rule other citizens. Human beings are the union of body and soul, he said, and nature has designed the female body for one job: PROCREATION and nurturing. |
