Luce Irigaray

Routledge, 1992

Irigaray's most beautiful writings
The prose of Irigaray unsettles the calm assuredness with which the realms of spirituality and the feminine have so often been rendered as subjects without agency, the weaker and subordinate opposite of material,tangible reality. Irigaray demonstrates how to dislodge, disrupt, and destabilize the barriers founded by certain academic standards. She dares to use words to describe the futility of ...

The Way of Love (Athlone Contemporary European Thinkers)

Luce Irigaray

Continuum International Publishing Group, 2003

A wisdom of love
What is love and why is it so important to understand and explore it? Since Plato's Symposium (and maybe even longer) the meaning of love has been a significant topic of philosophers. Irigaray's exploration and discussion is refreshingly different. She, in a way, takes on the whole prior philosophic tradition. This is tough but exciting. It requires a bit of patience to stick with ...

Nice feminist critique of Freud, Plato, and others
The first section is especially wonderful: a complete analysis of Freud's construction of women's sexuality and development. She has a great style with many a qwirk to keep you entertained. The second section includes free-form essays on Aristotle, Kant, Plato, Descartes and other representatives of the Western male philosophical canon. The last section is a complete analysis of Plato's ...

This Sex Which Is Not One

Luce Irigaray, Catherine Porter, ...

Cornell University Press, 1985

This Sex Which Is Not One
A must read for those interested in Femenist Theory. Travelling across Freudian and Lacanian perspectives, this book seriously explains, with accesible language, the female sexuality. It simply expresses very difficult theories, and guides the reader with accesible terminology from the outset. In my opinion, after reading this text, one can be said to be fluent in femenist issues. I also ...

Marine Lover of Friedrich Nietzsche

Luce Irigaray

Columbia University Press, 1991

Interesting
While there is so much talk about Irigaray's lack of understanding of Neitzsche, it is obvious that previous reviewers have a lack of understanding of Irigaray. Her inquiries are focused around language and how it is used. Her analysis is nothing short of detailed. "Man-hating" it is not, patriarchy-hating it is, what is more this book draws attention to the language that perpetuates ...

Luce Irigaray

Editions de Minuit, 1983

brilliant thinking, feeling the source of life
Not only for feminists, this book is a brilliant commentary upon the western tradition which constantly forgets what is most elemental for human life: air. read it in one line with Irigaray's Entre Orient et Occident, where she's defending a practice of breath. on of the most important philosophers, thinking outside thought itself.

Democracy Begins Between Two

Luce Irigaray

Routledge, 2001

Visionary
I disagree strongly with the reviewer who posted before me. The reviewer criticizes Irigaray for being an idealist-- but idealism is important, because it is what allows us to imagine a future where our lives are happier and the world is more just. Plus, this book is full of practical ways in which to think about implementing that vision-- like a discussion of what kind of laws the European Union ...

An Ethics of Sexual Difference

2 reviews
Luce Irigaray, Carolyn Burke, ...

Cornell University Press, 1993

A classic of continental thinking.
Irigaray's `rewriting' of philosophy and philosophers is essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy these days. It is also a refreshing breath of thought on `Feminism'. The concept of `Place'is presented as Woman, a return to the primordial feminine via `deconstruction' (in the best possible way) of western patriarchial hegemony. Besides the radical content, it is is beautifully ...

Refusing to live death means taking away the last destiny of life. This book talks about how to deal with the terminally ill, and teaches how to, from love and respect, face this difficult experience.

Das Geschlecht, das nicht eins ist.
Luce Irigaray

Merve Verlag GmbH, 1979

Between East And West
Luce Irigaray

New Age Books,India, 2005

Between East and West is an attempt to rediscover meaning for Western philosophy and culture by looking outside the Western tradition. Luce Irigaray's passionate intellect is in evidence throughout the book, which she envisions as "a quest for myself, for the world, for the other, beyond illusions, beyond lies." Irigaray, probably the foremost feminist philosopher in France, attempts to "reground" both individuality and community. To do so she ...

Je Tu Nous: Pour Une Culture

Luce Irigaray

Livre de Poche, 1993

Important contribution, but with major flaws
This is a rather absurd little book -- offensive and ignorant in many places. Irigaray raises a whole raft of necessary concerns -- about the way sexist language (and even sexist grammar) shapes our culture, about how language about equality may mask sexism that seeks to remove female-ness from women, about how many of our cultural forms are inappropriate to a society that values both sexes. But ...
