A Comparative-Philosophical Analysis of Women's Rights and Equality in the Perspectives of Eastern and Western Thinkers

This scientific article provides a comparative-philosophical analysis of the stages of formation and development of issues concerning women's rights, their role in society, and gender equality within the evolution of Eastern and Western philosophical and intellectual thought. The study compares the socio-philosophical, ontological, and axiological perspectives of thinkers from antiquity, the Eastern Renaissance, and Islamic philosophy. The author provides a scholarly substantiation of how Western philosophy prioritizes individual rights and civil equality, whereas Eastern philosophy emphasizes spiritual-moral responsibility, as well as familial and social harmony.
