Irigaray challenges Beauvoir's ontology and ethics.
This involves a questioning of epistemology and
metaphysics as well. Yet Beauvoir and Irigaray
sought to include women as subjects. Beauvoir was on
the verge of a new ontology, alluded to sexed
subjectivity but reproduced sexual sameness.
Irigaray posits a new ontology, considers the debt
to the mother, sexuate rights and a feminine
symbolic and divine. But their philosophies seem to
be incommensurate. The men in their lives provide a
partial connection. Sartre and Levi-Strauss invite
us to explore existentialism and structuralism.
Freud and Lacan enable us to reconsider
psychoanalysis and sexual specificity. Levinas
brings us into a stronger relationship with
phenomenology and ethics. This book seeks to find
the places and the spaces to forge authentic
relationships with the other sex valuing sexual
difference. There are possibilities for generous
listening and speaking. The ethical challenges and
existential conundrums of today force us to try
harder to create positive possibilities.
