Femininity as Spiritual Value: Reflections on Philosophy of Complementarity between Male, Female

Share this post :

The author of this article seeks to reconsider the concept of femininity beyond the two prevailing orientations: the first, the biological orientation that reduces femininity to the body, and the second, the social orientation that makes it a product of culture and discourse.

 She begins with the premise that reducing femininity to these two orientations leads to the loss of its ethical and spiritual dimensions, which contradicts the understanding of its profound presence in human experience and its connection to beauty, love, nurturing, tranquility, and the balance of human existence. 

Therefore, through a Qur'anic and philosophical-gnostic approach to the vision based on the integration of male and female, the article demonstrates that femininity is a spiritual and aesthetic value. She concludes that it is a dimension of human perfection, fulfilling humanity's and the universe's need for beauty, mercy, love, compassion, and kindness, especially in an era where modern and postmodern humanity is experiencing a crisis that can be understood as an imbalance in the scales of majesty and beauty, leading to a crisis of lost meaning and identity. She concludes that restoring femininity as a spiritual value can rebuild the image of a balanced human being, one in whom strength is united with compassion, reason with love, individuality with dignity, and difference with complementarity.
