Beschreibung

Half title with a list of the author's other works on the verso + TP + [7] = Quote page + 9-157 + [159] = Publisher's advertisements + [160] = Printer's information. Octavo. First Edition. Pursuing a critique of Martin Heidegger, Irigaray aims to think through the sexed dimensions of his concept of "Being". The inheritor of the Western metaphysical project, Heidegger's attempts to think of an all-encompassing totality are subverted by Irigaray in this work as she claims that the "Being" which remains ubiquitously immanent is not without sexedness. Exploring the ways that Heidegger's "Being" privileges a masculine relationship to the earth, Irigaray offers a unique geological reorientation that supports her overall philosophical reorientation to gender. Attempting to reconcile sexual difference and the necessity of unity, Irigaray moves away from the terrestrial dimensions that preserve this opposition, taking to the air instead. Reaching past the various terrestrial structures which preserve the oppositional relationship as the standard between men and women - the classic forms of human habitation: house, university, business, etc. - Irigaray moves beyond the romanticism and fetishization of the earthliness found in Heidegger's thought. Publisher's original wraps with black and blue printing to the front and back covers and to the spine. A very pretty unmarked copy. ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
