摘　　要：性别本质主义在当代受到了大量女性主义者的批判,因为这一立场对于生物本体论的采纳不仅影响了女性的自由与解放,更是对性别平等目标的阻碍。但是,这一理论并非一无是处,维特就在《性别形而上学》一书中对性别本质主义作了具体分析,并提出了一种新的可能性,即性别联合本质主义,以实现对性别本质主义的辩护。尽管维特提出的社会个体概念以及关于联合本质主义的论证都存在着一些不足,但是她的这些观点为我们呈现了本质主义对性别分析和实现性别平等具有帮助的可能性。Gender essentialism has been criticized by a large number of feminists in contemporary times,because its adoption of biological ontology has affected women’s freedom and liberation,even hindered the goal of gender equality.However,this theory is not without its merits.Witt made a concrete analysis of gender essentialism in The Metaphysics of Gender and proposed a new possibility,namely gender uniessentialism to defend gender essentialism.Although there are some defects in her conception of the social individual and her argument of uniessentialism,it at least presents the possibility that essentialism is helpful to gender analysis and gender equality.
