- 요약This dissertation asks, what explains the feminist tendency for intra-movement conflict? That is, why do thinkers and activists ostensibly committed to the same goal-ending patriarchy-reach such different and bitterly contested conclusions regarding what feminism requires of them? I argue that the answer is their differing conceptions of patriarchy: different diagnoses of the problem necessitate different solutions-solutions which often conflict with one another, resulting in intra-movement discord. This I demonstrate by excavating five different origin stories from across the history of feminist political thought, drawing from each a distinct conception of the problem of patriarchy, and showing how that conception of patriarchy explains feminist disagreement.These five origin stories can be grouped into four different patriarchal ontologies, each of which consists of a framework which explains the causal mechanism for, properties of, and relevant assumptions undergirding a given conception of patriarchy. These are the idealist, materialist, naturalist, and moralist ontologies. Understanding these origin stories and their resulting patriarchal ontologies provides us with (1) the core concepts that different traditions of feminism use, and how these concepts relate to one another; (2) the basic assumptions that need to be true for a theory of patriarchy to be viable; (3) the advantages and disadvantages of each particular conception of patriarchy, explaining why they appeal to different traditions of feminism; and 4) why and where feminists come apart on issues of political and moral significance, such as pornography, surrogacy, and even the possibility of democratic persuasion.The first chapter concerns the idealist ontology of patriarchy. Using Simone de Beauvoir's origin story in The Second Sex,I articulate a conception of patriarchy which posits a fundamental break between human and animal, and locates the causal mechanism of patriarchy within the norms and ideas that form us as subjects. Such an ontology has certain advantages, particularly in how it posits an understanding of patriarchy which is both independent of biology and phenomenologically resonant. However, because the idealist ontology is so robust, it is also difficult to combat, creating what I call the "problem of grounding." In chapter two, I argue that we can use Beauvoir's idealist ontology to better understand the work of two theorists who are generally thought to share little in common: Catharine MacKinnon and Judith Butler. I argue that MacKinnon and Butler both share in the advantages of the idealist ontology, enabling them to articulate an understanding of patriarchy in which gender precedes sex. However, they also struggle with the problem of grounding, leading them over time to change their theories in subtle but important ways.In the next two chapters, I turn to the materialist tradition and its offshoots. In chapter three, I analyze the story found in Friedrich Engels' The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State,in which private property is to blame for patriarchy's rise. Unlike the idealist ontology, the materialist conception posits the existence of human societies before patriarchy, modeling the possibility of a post-patriarchal future and allowing for untainted norms and values. While this makes patriarchy somewhat easier to combat (at least in theory), the materialist ontology would come to be criticized for its failure to articulate a convincing account of patriarchy's depth, leading to a schism between Marxist-socialist feminism and radical feminism.
