Abstract

Since the second half of the 20th century, women have become one of the most controversial topics in political philosophy. Some thinkers of women's studies, such as Susan Muller Okin and Carol Pattman, showed in their research that political philosophy was originally male, and therefore, as soon as it is placed against women as equals, it collapses so much that there is nothing to use. It does not remain. Therefore, two fundamental questions are raised at the same time: First, what should women's studies do to raise its philosophical issues? And second, what to do with the great tradition of political philosophy? So far, three answers have been given to these two questions: escaping from philosophy, establishing feminist political philosophy, and de-gendering political philosophy. But as we will show, these answers are ultimately not convincing. On the other hand, in this article, we have put forward the idea of neutral political philosophy, which tries to find a way to preserve the great tradition of political philosophy with the inferential analytical method that governs philosophical debates, and that the discussion of women in terms of existence ‌Cognitive find the possibility of being present and recognized.
