Περίληψη: | In the first chapter I present the “revival” of the “quarrel of women” during the 18th century and the ideological shifts during the 19th; namely, the public discourses on the nature, the social destiny and the education of women in the philosophical and socio-political dialogue within the framework of the European and Greek Enlightenment during the 18th century and the ideological displacements during the 19th. In the first part of the chapter I present the views and of the European philosophers on the “women’s issue”, charting the three traditions of philosophical though shaped by the philosophers’ views. In the second part of the chapter the views of Greek proponents of the Enlightenment are presented in correlation with the correspondent European ones. In the third and last part the ideological shifts in regard to the issue during the 19th are presented: namely the transition from the public discourses on the “nature” to the discourses on the “rights”, from the “difference” to the “equality in difference” from the public presence of women as individuals to their collective public activity, from the “critique with no name” to “emancipation” and ‘feminism”. The chapter is concluded by a brief evaluation of the course of the theoretical negotiation of the “women’s issue” in the Western and Greek speaking world
