Self Definition

A Philosophical Inquiry from the Global South and Global North

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that anatomy and biology frame our gender, sex and class, but they do not decide our possibilities. Our life styles are our own constructions and expressions of self definition. This argument draws in an original way from both the massive literature of the Global South and the Global North.
