- Title
La discusión medieval sobre la condición femenina (siglos VIII a XIII).
- Authors
SARANYANA, JOSEP-IGNASI
- Abstract
From the Enlightenment it is considered that there is a contradiction in the Pauline corpus between the texts of Galatians and First Corinthians, which refer to the feminine condition. The first are considered profeminists and the second misogynists. The Christian tradition ignored this supposed opposition. Moreover, applying the allegorical exegesis to Corinthians, and relying on a threefold anthropology (corpus, anima, nous), harmonized the two readings of the Pauline corpus and held that all this corpus is profeminist. The misogynist bankruptcy of Christian theology took place very late, in the middle of the thirteenth century, when all the Aristotelian legacy and, above all, Greco-Roman medicine was known in the Latin West. St. Albert the Great and St. Thomas Aquinas are witnesses of that turn.
