This article analyzes the contributions of the feminist theories to the reformulation of the current political theory paradigms. Two topical axes are reexamined: the issue of the recognition of differences and the redefinition of the public-private dichotomy, both introduced into the modern political discussion by the feminism. In the case of the difference, representation and its legitimacy issue are analyzed in particular. The private-public dichotomy is approached from the ethics of care viewpoint and its parallelisms with the principles of social economy. It concludes that feminism is, in essence, a meditation on the human being condition, concrete on his or her sexuality, but universal on his or her right to recognition.
