Philosophical aspects of understanding the trend of feminist aesthetics

The article analyses theoretic and methodological principles of feminist aesthetics as an underexplored section of aesthetic science. Amongst others, the author discusses the preconditions of this intellectual approach, its interconnection with feminist critique of art history and defines the main directions of feminist aesthetics studies’ research. Moreover, the author considers approaches of conceptualizing this trend articulated by Christine Battersby, Rita Felski and Sarah Worth.
