Relationship between goodness and beauty has been considered byphilosophers since ancient times. Plato identified them with one another. According to Plotinus and other Neoplatonists beauty has its origin in the good, reveals it, and directs us to it. The Middle Ages continued this tradition, reflected in the theory of the transcendentalsand in the understanding of beauty as harmony and radiance. In contemporary Polish philosophy, Platonic and especially Neoplatonic themes can be found in the thought of Władysław Stróżewski and Józef Tischner. They represent a common featureof the two conceptions, which otherwise differ in many respects. For Tischner beauty turns out to be not only an element, in which one can lose oneself, but also light and grace, a gift of the highest good. According to Stróżewski beauty, understood as radiance and perfection, comes as a gift from above, and inclines one to rise to what is highest  (trans. Jarosław Olesiak).

Tekst jest próbą prezentacji specyfiki filozofii feministycznej na przykładach trzech myśli¬cielek żyjących w różnych epokach i miejscach. Fenomenolżka i katoliczka Edyta Stein w pisze o podobieństwie natury kobiety i mężczyzny, ich równości i powołaniu kobiety do realizacji swoich talentów i możliwości. Francuska filozofka i psychoanalityczka Luce Irigaray dekon¬struuje tworzoną z męskiego punktu widzenia filozofię i kulturę i szuka sposobów wyrazu kobiecych pragnień i wyobrażeń. Współczesna polska filozofka Jolanta Brach-Czaina opisuje nieobecne dotąd w filozofii kobiece doświadczenia. Wspólna im wszystkim jest potrzeba mówienia własnym głosem o własnych doświadczeniach i budowania autonomicznego podmiotu kobiecego.

The article is an attempt to present the peculiar character of feminist philosophy, using as examples three women thinkers living in different times and places. The phenomenologist and Catholic Edith Stein writes about the similar natures of men and women, their equality, and the vocation of women to realize their talents and abilities. The French philosopher and psycho¬analyst Luce Irigaray deconstructs philosophy and culture created from the masculine point of view and looks for ways of expressing women’s desires and imaginations. The contemporary Polish philosopher Jolanta Brach-Czaina describes feminine experiences that have until now been absent in philosophy. What is common to them all is the need to speak with their own voice about their own ex¬periences and to construct an autonomous feminine personality.

The issue of the nature or essence of a woman is a very practical problem for Edith Stein. The upbringing and education of women should be based on knowledge of a woman’s nature and her life's vocation. Edith Stein makes use of science – particularly psychology – literature, common knowledge, and above all, philosophy and the Biblical message of faith. Women and men have a common basic vocation, to be an image of God, and both need to develop their talents, capabilities and powers in a full and harmonious manner. This development comprises three levels: humanity, femininity or masculinity and their singular individuality. Edith Stein’s approach to the specific character of a woman’s nature is holistic, concrete and personal, based on a maternal and caring attitude, and above  all on the desire to love and be loved. Edith Stein describes nature or essence from the perspective of action. Like the essence of things, the individual specificity of each person is not fully knowable; it can be known only intuitively. One might formulate the hypothesis that femininity is a simple and irreducible quality that affects the whole structure of a person.
