This article attempts at showing a characteristic evolution of perception of the genealogy of female hysteria within the confines of psychoanalytical tradition. Starting from Freud's approach where hysteria was unambiguously associated with female sexuality, contestable attempts at 'rehabilitating' the latter made by Horney or Klein, through to Lacan's, Irigaray's or Kristeva's concepts, each of whom, in his or her peculiar way, tries to evade both the simplifications of a Freudian patriarchalism and a biologism like the one represented by the author of Female Sexuality. What all those concepts or approaches have in common is their failure at completely overcoming the identification of hysteria with the 'nature' of femininity, although they seek to draw dissimilar consequences from it. The question is whether one should rather radically break with such identification, rather than see a 'different language' of femininity in hysteria?

The aim of the article is to depict the basic categories and problems concerning philosophical thought about femininity, as well as to offer a critique of dualisms assumed to be self-evident and necessary for an analysis of femininity and masculinity. These dualisms were created according to “either-or” logic and suggest that reality is based on hierarchical pairs of opposites (i.e. woman—man, sex—gender, essence—construct, nature—culture, body—mind), which lead to an ostensible alternative of essentialism - constructivism. This article traces the consequences of taking for granted a binary-oriented construction of reality, which determines the direction of analysis and leads to reductionist conclusions. Moreover, the article suggests a scheme of philosophical anthropology called “feminology”, which on the one hand aims to study femininity without political references or a reductionist approach, and on the other analyzes femininity not as opposed to masculinity, but as “different from” it.
