Philosophy can change women’s history.


By philosopher Catherine Guillerme

What must we teach little girls, young girls and women
around the world?


Peut-on Can we continue to teach a feminism of protest in which the women of the future can save themselves only by surpassing men?

Or must we continue to suggest a fashion that is increasingly revealing, transforming women into females who must be seduced at any cost?

Or must we recommend that women seek refuge in the banality of daily life, without great aspirations, without authentic sentiments, with extraordinary actions?

Does another perspective exist? Another vision of the world?

Eternal values exist, such as dignity, beauty, goodness, justice, elegance, courage, hope, spiritual strength… The question is, how can we live them once again?


The alternative

We can begin by teaching the ability to think for oneself, the power to reflect, so that our choices are clearer.

We can transmit beauty, goodness and justice, three virtues that are cruelly lacking in today’s world.

Beauty is an archetype that transcends sensitive, profound souls that are its delicate vehicle. Beauty is harmony and radiance, always elevating and inspiring within us the most noble of sentiments.

We can explain that Goodness is not only for those we love the most, but above all for those who need it most. Goodness is the emanation of a heart that does not calculate what it gives.

We can teach that Justice begins by being just within ourselves and acting with the best possible intentions. That which is Just is always the fruit of inner harmony.


How can we teach?


We can once again teach the wisdom of the East and the West, discovering the marvellous laws of life, of nature and of the universe, which can be found in the arts, the sciences, the philosophies of the world, mysticism…

We can better understand what the human being is by asking important questions about where we come from, who we are and where we are going.

The advantage is that we can escape opinion, daughter of ignorance, and free ourselves from dogma and superstition, enabling women to encounter their authentic inner self.


The revolution is above all philosophical

Before thinking about the career we must choose, before counting the number of children we must have, before seducing any man for fear of being alone, before becoming obsessed with the imperfections of the body and, above all, before acting without thinking,

Women must discover their role, become aware of their spiritual values, uncover the meaning they can give to their lives and, finally, know why they live.

Such women can then activate their soul, act with magic and carry hope for all of humanity!

This is a tribute to women around the world, but also a special tribute to a very special philosopher, Hypatia.*
Hypatia, a young woman philosopher from the 4th century who was an inspiration for so many scholars and sages of her time, was the last shining star of Ancient Wisdom!
