    Will to Truth and Gender Studies
    (Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, Ukraine, 2019) Snitko, Dmytro Yu.; Varshavskyi, Oleksandr P.
    EN: The purpose of the paper is to establish the emergence and evolution of a gender perspective from the foundations of classical philosophy, namely, from the phenomenon of will-to-truth as the spontaneous desire of man to the knowledge of being. To achieve this goal, the following tasks are solved: 1) to investigate the way in which philosophy constitutes itself; 2) to establish how the category of "sex" appears (manifests), both in the natural and in the social contexts; 3) to determine the correlation of gender studies and philosophy. Theoretical basis. If for the methodology of gender studies it is inherent to proceed from the contextuality and value foundations of knowledge, then in this paper gender is considered directly from the being-inworld, human presence. Originality. The scientific novelty of the study is to distinguish between the will-to-truth and the will-to-knowledge (M. Foucault), which is used as a methodological method through which an attempt is made to identify the demand of sex (gender) for being as a subject of philosophy. Conclusions. As a result of the study, it was found that scientific developments in the field of gender issues in their subject matter are not mainly descended from subject sphere of classical philosophy. Sex (gender) isn’t substantiated metaphysically, and it is ontical, not ontological attribute of the human kind; its presentation as the determinating factor of the cultural history in context of femininity/masculinity`s dichotomy is engaged; this quality is similar to Nietzsche’s will to power, i.e., determination of definite knowledge. This one is later used in legal, socio-political discourse, corrects language practice, determine scientific researches depending on axiological component of culture; as the problem of social justice solving, gender as the subject of social study has lost its actuality.
