Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Written in the interrogative mode, this work is a questioning of reading and writing that goes far beyond the usual postmodern revisioning of these themes. Instead it attempts to adumbrate these problems by an analysis of the she who speaks the plight of postmodernity. Using the work of feminist thinkers such as Margaret Homans, Luce Irigaray, and Judith Butler, Price analyzes mother, sister, and daughter as conceptual personae. Levinas's ethical critique of philosophy provides an additional focus for understanding freedom as prior to choice as actualized in rule-bound decision making. Combining unbridled exuberance and vivid imagination with exemplary scholarship, Price has written a work that moves toward a new understanding of the interplay of traditional philosophy and its other." -- Edith Wyschogrod, Rice University

Reseña del editor:

A philosophical questioning of reading and writing that focuses on metaphors of women and women's roles in our cultural and intellectual heritage.
