DIRE L’INDICIBILE COME ETICA DELL’ATTESA. Dal discorso che testimonia il destino di Emanuele Severino alla consapevolezza dell’errore nella soluzione del paradosso femminista

The article analyzes the problem of female victim-position, by entering into some difficulties which hinder the overcoming of such a state of subordination. It focuses on the different forms of feminism and their paradoxical conflict, highlighting how their different and opposing epistemologies correspond to the categories of “episteme” versus “declining immutable” indicated by Severino. Since the problem of the status of women is highly pervasive in the whole human history and in all cultures, its resolution appears to be a crucial challenge to ethics and politics, because it is not yet a foundation able to resist the will to power that is manifested as violence aimed at oppression and abuse. The article discusses how the thought of the philosopher founds a new ethic of liberation of the oppressed.
