Feminist Interpretations of Maurice Merleau-Ponty
ISBN: 9780271029184 / Angielski / Miękka / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. More than sixty years ago, Simone de Beauvoir identified the importance of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's writings to feminist theory.

But there has been little agreement on how Merleau-Ponty's ideas ultimately have an impact on feminist philosophy.

Or do Merleau-Ponty's specific descriptions of physical experience betray an intrinsic bias toward a male heterosexual point of...

Rhetoric is a way of reading the endless discursive debris that...

Beyond Romance
ISBN: 9780791450987 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Beyond Romance critiques the romantic ideal that predominates contemporary thought and practice--it defines, explores, and advocates authentic love as a preferable alternative. The author claims that you can't genuinely love a person you don't know, and that the quality of love depends on the quality and extent of the knowing. Drawing heavily from the work of Merleau-Ponty, Dillon also takes up the classical treatments of love from Plato to the present, emphasizing Hegel, Freud, Sartre, and Derrida. Dillon argues that much of contemporary erotic malaise is traceable to the flaws in the...
