Cartesian dualism implies a relationship of separation and domination that is codified and naturalized in culture and characterized by radical exclusion, distance and opposition between domains that are systematically defined as inferior and superior, as (over)ruled and dominated (male/female, rational/emotional, spiritual/material, mind/body, etc.). The paper further argues that there is no uniform dichotomy of male rational and female emotional in the Bible or that the hypothesis of a uniform dichotomy between male rationality and female emotionality does not do justice to the complexity of the biblical narratives and proves this with examples. In the Old Testament, there are several women who embody rationality and action in the pursuit of justice and the well-being of others. Deborah (Judg 4–5), for example, is portrayed as a military leader and mediator between warring nations, indicating her strategic thinking and emotional intelligence. Ruth’s decision to leave her family and join Naomi’s clan (Ruth 1:14-18) also shows her resourcefulness and commitment to her new family. Women like Job’s wife (Job 19:17) or Pharaoh’s daughter (Exodus 2:4-7) show practical wisdom, rational and emotional intelligence in their actions and decisions. Contrary to popular belief that men do not show emotions, there are several men in the Old Testament who show a variety of emotions. David (Ps 13:2), for example, is known for giving free rein to his emotions in the Psalms, expressing sadness, anger and longing. In this context, the Bible emphasises the interplay of emotions, reason and action and questions the rigid dichotomy of man and woman. The stories emphasise the importance of empathy, compassion and understanding in human relationships and show that these qualities are fundamental to the human experience and do not exclude either genderPrispevek s pomočjo metodologije krščanske feministične hermenevtike analizira v prvi vrsti fenomen in vpliv kartezijanskih binarizmov na razumevanje in vrednotenje čustev, čustvenosti in žensk v metanarativih zahodne kulture in judovsko-krščanske tradicije. Kartezijanski dualizem pomeni odnos ločitve in nadvlade, ki je vpisan in naturaliziran v kulturo ter zaznamovan z radikalno izključitvijo, distanco in opozicijo med področji, ki so sistematično določena kot nižja in višja, manjvredna in večvredna, (nad)vladana in vladajoča: ženska/moški, čustveno/racionalno, materialno/duhovno, telesnost/um itd. Prispevek nadalje utemeljuje hipotezo, da v Svetem pismu ne najdemo uniformirane dihotomije moški – racionalnost : ženske – čustvenost oziroma da hipoteza o enotni dihotomiji med moško racionalnostjo in žensko čustvenostjo ne predstavlja natančno kompleksnosti svetopisemskih pripovedi (to je podkrepljeno s primeri). V Stari zavezi je predstavljenih več žensk, ki v prizadevanju za pravičnost in dobrobit drugih utelešajo racionalnost in delovanje – kot npr. Debora (Sod 4–5) v vlogi vojaške voditeljice in posrednice med sprtimi rodovi; to kaže na strateško razmišljanje in čustveno inteligenco. Podobno Rutina odločitev, da zapusti svojo družino in se pridruži Naominemu rodu (Rut 1,14-18), izpostavlja njeno iznajdljivost in predanost novi družini. Ženske, kot so Jobova žena (Job 19,17), faraonova hči (2 Mz 2,4-7), kažejo v svojih delovanjih in odločitvah praktično modrost, racionalno in čustveno inteligenco. V nasprotju s splošnim prepričanjem, da se moški liki ne izražajo čustveno, nam Stara zaveza predstavlja več moških likov, ki kažejo različna čustva. David (Ps 13,2) je na primer znan po tem, da v psalmih izliva svoja čustva, izraža žalost, jezo in hrepenenje. Sveto pismo torej poudarja prepletanje čustev, razuma in dejanj: togo dihotomijo moški/ženska postavlja pod vprašaj. Pripovedi namreč poudarjajo pomen empatije, sočutja in razumevanja v človeških odnosih ter dokazujejo, da so tovrstne lastnosti za človeško izkušnjo temeljne – in ne izključujejo enega ali drugega spolaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Teološka fakulteta
