The Gift of the Other - Levinas And the Politics of Reproduction

Informationen zum Autor Lisa Guenther is Lecturer in the Philosophy Department at The University of Auckland, New Zealand. Klappentext "Guenther presents an original, compelling, and lucid analysis of birth as a gilt that, if given rather than forced, grounds subjectivity, plurality, and ethical sociality. This is a groundbreaking work that revises Levinas's ethics for feminist reproductive politics, and it will have a significant impact on key debates in existential phenomenology, feminist theory, bioethics, and biopolitics." -- Rosalyn Diprose, author of Corporeal Generosity: On Giving with Nietzsche, Merleau-Ponty, and Levina
