| Περίληψη: | Jean Gerson’s position towards women (1363-1429).
The article discusses the question of Jean Gerson’s (1363-1429) attitude toward
women. Based on several texts where women appear in various social roles: as
spouses, sisters, mothers and nuns, the study aims at forming a more nuanced
opinion on this subject. Particular attention will be paid to the analysis of texts where
women appear as independent devotees. While recognizing the complex and even
contradictory character of Gerson’s position towards women, the article seeks to
place it in the general perspective of his “theological vulgarization” project, through
which he aims to leading the largest number of the faithful to a life of contemplation.
The author argues that Gerson gives women a new important role in this project. |
