DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO THE PLATON'S TIMAIOS AND FOLIOR DIALOGUE

Abstract

The concept of khora and feasting dialogue presented in Plato's Timaios dialogue offer important ideas. While Plato's way of interpreting this concept is more about the creation of the universe and the universe, feminists such as Kristeva and Irigaray have re-expressed this concept in contemporary feminist debates. While Plato's concept of khôra was the foundation of creation, according to Kristeva, khôra is the place where the woman created her subjectivity and self, and a feminine place for Irigaray. In the context of patriarchal ideology that dominates society, Kristeva and Irigaray deal with post-structuralism, psychoanalysis and language. Language is below the overwhelming weight of masculine domination. There is always a sense of language in which the male is always superior, intelligent, strong and feminine is considered as weak. To defend the rights of women, to liberate women, to exist in society, to ensure that the subject is the first language must be opposed. These feminists believe that it is possible to defeat the patriarchal meaning-value world in which the language, which encompasses discrimination and hierarchy between men and women, is ensured. In this study, feminist discourses will be examined in order to enable women to form their own ego based on Plato's dialogues.
