Abstract. The article considers the problem of understanding a woman as the Other in the French philosophy of the XX century. Special attention is paid to the views of Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre and Emmanuel Levinas. The choice of these particular philosophical figures is mostly conditioned by specificity of their relations, which is directly represented in their philosophical search. It is shown that, regardless of certain contradictions, the philosophers’ views are similar in some way. The common features include an attempt to understand a woman through the category of the Other. In each of the three philosophical conceptions, a woman is considered as the Other due to her objectivity, subordinate position in relation to a man.
