The Objectification of Woman in the Phenomenological Study
Phenomenological method seeks to understand or interpret the experience of an existent being.In the case of this paper, I pose a question on the search for the essence of being a woman using a phenomenological method: How does finding the essence of a woman using a phenomenological method become an objectification of such a creature?When one looks at the woman as a phenomenon, one tends to objectify the very being of a woman.There is a so-called phenomenological objectification of the woman as an object of study.This paper criticizes the way phenomenological method deduces woman study into an objectified entity.It does not disregard the contribution of phenomenological studies to the understanding of being a woman.However, every time a woman is defined, she is deduced into something else other than what she wills to become.As a critique, this paper argues the implication of emphasizing the phenomenological method in finding the essence of a woman.Furthermore, it offers a different way of understanding a woman without any prejudices.The starting point of understanding proceeds from the fact of the very being of a human being who is free and equal with other human beings.That starting point is a result of the critique of phenomenological reduction of a woman as such.Thus, this paper contests the phenomenological result of the study of a woman that leads to the objectification of a particular human person.
