Philosophical-Anthropological Concepts of Subject and Subjectivity as a Genesis of Women’s Emancipation

The study examine the problems existing in the Ot-toman Empire of the second half of the 19thcentury and the beginning of the 20thcentury, which are related to the philo-sophical-antropological categories of subject and subjectivity in male-female relationships, the identification of female-male identities, to the internal domainsof their coverage, as well as the possibilities of women‟s emancipation and reali-zation of their rights in a patriarchal society. The philosophical concepts of woman-subject and subjec-tivity were studied based on the philosophical-anthropologi-cal-feminist contexts of the works of Western Armenian fe-male authors who were engaged in literary activities in the second half of the 19thcentury and the beginning of the 20thcentury, as well as the contexts of socio-cultural and concep-tual transformations of women‟s emancipation. Their manifestations and changes in society are viewed as the genesis of women‟s emancipation. This is an interdisci-plinary study, so the material has been analyzed in the context of mutual connections and relationships between Philosophy, Literary Studies and Anthropology. The research is unprece-dented since analysis of this kind has been attempted for the first time. It is also important and up-to-date in terms of anal-yses of women‟s issues in the scope of Armenological Stud-ies.
