Diverse interpretations of femininity are explored through the lens of contemporary feminist philosophy, featuring key figures like Luce Irigaray, Sylviane Agacinski, Joan Tronto, Sandra Laugier, and Rosi Braidotti. The author examines Irigaray's vision of relational identity, Agacinski's inclusive post-feminism, and the political implications of vulnerability and care ethics from Tronto and Laugier. Braidotti's concept of a nomadic, posthuman subject is also discussed. These philosophies emphasize togetherness and ethical responsibility, advocating for political renewal against commercialization.

The aim of the volume "Bulgarian Voices Abroad. Philosophical Accents" is to present the main ideas and achievements of authors of Bulgarian origin - philosophers, intellectuals and cultural figures, who worked mainly abroad, such as Dr. Petar Beron, Radoslav Tsanov, Yanko Yanev, Georgi Gachev, Assen Ignatov, Tsvetan Todorov, Julia Kristeva and others. This "outward looking" view also allows us a reverse perspective: turning the look to ourselves becomes an occasion to see ourselves through the eyes of the other, to rethink the specifics of the foreign and the own/native. The point of view of one who is sufficiently "other", distanced from events and paradigms, can give us an unbiased assessment of them. At the same time, he is sufficiently near to "us" for his analyzes to be relevant to "our" reality as well.
