Christine Battersby rethinks questions of embodiment, essence, sameness and difference, self and "other," patriarchy and power. Using analyses of Kant, Adorno, Irigaray, Butler, Kierkegaard and Deleuze, she challenges those who argue that a feminist metaphysics is a a contradiction in terms. This book explores place for a metaphysics of fluidity in the current debates concerning postmodernism, feminism and identity politics. First Published in 1998. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
