- Abstract
Contract theories, which settled at the beginning of modern political philosophy, were born with a new imagination of sociality by destroying some of the codes of the previous political imagination. The most important of these political codes is the patriarchal absolutist understanding of power, which bases its legitimacy on divine law or the paternity and lineage rights of sacred texts. Along with the contract theories, the power that takes its source from the transcendent and absolute power or powers is replaced by new social-political relations that take the place of the agreement between equal and free people. However, this understanding of the origin, function and legitimacy of the new state and society has been criticized by both socialist and feminist theories in terms of the concepts of individuality, equality and freedom on which it is based. In this study, only the feminist perspective will focus on these criticisms, although they are not completely separate from each other. Because feminism's strong and effective claim towards contract theories is that the understanding of the individual, which is located at the very center of these theories with its physical strength, rational capacity and isolated character, is masculine, and moreover, unlike traditional power, it is brothers, not fathers, who determine the existence and character of social contracts.
