Abstract

This academic article aims to study “the origin of sexism in ancient Greek philosophy”. It found that there are three aspects: (1) The Greek ancient myth about a dream of womanless world influent what they appear in the past and now. This ancient belief plays significant role in trampling women. (2) The doctrine of Judaism and Christianity place woman in the unfair position since the beginning. (3) Men philosophers see the same truth about woman. Plato betrayed what his teacher, Socrates believes about the woman. He intends to interpret to support his own ideas about man is the perfect human and woman is imperfect.
