Representations about Status and Role of Woman in the Context of Mediaeval Tajik Philosophy

The  article is an endeavour of analysis concerned with some works of the classics of Tajik philosophical ideas – Avitsenna (Ibn Sino), Ibn Arabi, Averoes (Ibn Rushd), Mukhammad upon the issues related to status and role of woman, housekeeping, “home building”. Basic attention is paid to the aspects associated with the problems of masculinity and femininity, statuses of men and women, relations  between them. The  author  of the  article shows that the mediaeval Moslemic philosophy created its own  theory of human beings reproduction where woman wasn`t entitled  to the major functions, the  latters being unreservedly given to man, though it should be vice versa, as in other societies. It is elicited that the paradigm of representations about the  masculine and the feminine in the  mediaeval Moslemic philosophy was grounded  on the viewpoint that woman was a secondary creature,  it`s a “matter”, material for a “form”- masculine initiation assigned for spirutualizing lower matter. The tenets of mediaeval  thinkers proceed exerting great influence upon the  development of philosophical, juridical, social and religions ideas and also upon social  consciousness of people all over Central Asia. Just due to that the ideas formulated by these thinkers are extraordinarily  important for understanding modern gender representations and comprehension of  gender measurements in reference to the  Tajik culture.
