PHILOSOPHICAL & PSYCHOANALYTIC INTERPRETATION OF THE WOMEN'S VIEW IN EASTERN AND WEST CIVILIZATIONS

The aim of this paper is to compare the perception of women in Eastern and Western civilizations in terms of their philosophical perspective and psychoana-lytic analysis. To this end, the position of masculine and feminine genealogies in the established belief systems, philosophical and psychoanalytic analyzes of Eastern and Western civilizations is discussed and the place and importance of women in Eastern and Western civilizations are compared in terms of their tradi-tions, beliefs, historical and cultural backgrounds. This leads to a very important psychoanalytic rift in terms of gender and women's researches: the distinction between genus the second sex as the perception of women in the West and ‘the other sex’ as the perception of women in the Eastern wisdom.
