Luce Irigaray and the Philosophy of Sexual Difference

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the intersection of feminist theory and philosophy, this book presents a compelling defense of the notion that sexual difference is a natural concept. It offers a fresh interpretation of Luce Irigaray's essentialism, bridging her ideas with Judith Butler's views on gender performance. By connecting these feminist perspectives to German Romantic philosophies of nature, the work provides a novel approach to understanding embodiment. This original perspective invites further discussion on the complexities of sexual difference, essentialism, and the body.
