Liberalismo político, feminismo e justiça familiar

Abstract

This thesis questions the possibility of feminism perceiving John Rawls' theory of justice as fairness as congruent with the values of the feminist conception of the good. The view of congruence between feminism and political liberalism will be defended, arguing that the removal of gender specialization and the support for care as a socially necessary good are crucial measures to stabilize justice. The relevance of this work lies in the interest to find a coherent association between liberalism and feminism, as well as in articulating and responding to possible divergences between these traditions. If a well-ordered society based on the principles of a liberal conception of justice can promote gender equality and be stable over time, then feminism also has a reason to pursue such a society. By addressing gender issues, the thesis seeks to establish a public justification for gender egalitarian interventions, in accordance with the guidelines of public reason. Through this analysis, it aims to connect normative theory to contemporary political issues and provide a vision of an ideal society in which the effects of gender are neutralized as much as possible.
