Acesso em: 23 mar. 2023.e- 2448-1793http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/22234This article examines fundamental Aristotelian ideas and postulates in the formation of the misogynistic tradition in European culture and literature. Essential to the ideological and political order of Western misogyny were Aristotle's philosophical and supposedly scientific pronouncements about the male's generative superiority over the female, of man over woman. The Aristotelian equation matter-form to designate, correspondingly, the feminine and the masculine realities became one of the first principles to govern the rational superiority of man over woman. This truly axiom of the Ancient World came to satisfy the patriarchal religious thinking of great theologians and thinkers of the medieval Church. It is from this perspective that this study examines the dissemination of the Aristotelian physiology in the philosophical and religious thought of Saint Isidore of Seville, Saint Anselm and Saint Thomas Aquinas, having as a parameter of analysis its misogynistic orientation.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/AristotelismoMisoginiaDifusão religiosaSantos da igreja medievalAristotelianismMisogynyReligious diffusionSaints of the medieval churchArtigohttps://doi.org/10.32411/revistanos-2448-1793-v3n3-8310
