Abstract

This article draws on studies on gender inequality in Philosophy courses and seeks to contribute to this debate by presenting a case study of the undergraduate course at the Philosophy Department of the University of São Paulo (DF/FFLCH/USP). With this in mind, the analysis starts from the presence of women in Brazilian higher education, goes through Philosophy courses in the country, and then presents data on the presence of men and women on courses at the Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Human Sciences at the University of São Paulo (FFLCH/USP). The main objectives are to highlight the double exception of the case of Philosophy – it does not fit into the cases of humanities courses nor in the case of courses where women are in the minority – and the importance of case studies to understand the phenomenon of gender inequality in Philosophy.
