Yielding Gender: Feminism, Deconstruction and the History of Philosophy Summary
| Yielding Gender marks a highly innovative and bold intervention into the history of philosophy. Opening with a compelling discussion of the work of Judith Butler, Jacques Derrida and contemporary French feminist philosophy, Penelope Deutscher analyses recent theories of gender instability. She then considers how these theories challenge many contemporary feminist interpretations of the history of philosophy. Yielding Gender is one of the first books to consider the fascinating and important implications of making this link. Revisiting the controversial debates about sexual difference in the work of Rousseau, St Augustine and Simone de Beauvoir, Deutscher offers an illuminating reconstruction of how the elusive, unstable and self-contradictory aspects of such interpretations of gender enable the masculine connotations of reason to persist. Yielding Gender will be essential reading for students of gender studies and philosophy. Clearly-written and carefully argued, it should be read by anyone wishing to understand the exchange between feminist and deconstructive philosophy. |
