Adriana Cavarero Books

    January 1, 1947

    Adriana Cavarero's philosophical work delves into the political significance of thought and the 'thought of sexual difference.' She examines the Western philosophical tradition from a feminist viewpoint, innovatively reinterpreting thinkers like Hannah Arendt through concepts such as uniqueness, action, and narration. Her inquiry foregrounds the individual and unique existence of human beings, rooted in their bodies and gender. Cavarero resists abstract philosophical subjects and postmodern fragmentation, championing instead the vibrant uniqueness of the self, shaped through relationships with others and acceptance of embodied individuality.

      Toward a Feminist Ethics of Nonviolence brings together major feminist thinkers to debate Cavarero's call for a postural ethics of nonviolence and a sociality rooted in bodily interdependence.Toward a Feminist Ethics of Nonviolence brings together three major feminist thinkers--Adriana Cavarero, Judith Butler, and Bonnie Honig--to debate Cavarero's call for a postural ethics of nonviolence. The book consists of three longer essays by Cavarero, Butler, and Honig, followed by shorter responses by a range of scholars that widen the dialogue, drawing on post-Marxism, Italian feminism, queer theory, and lesbian and gay politics. Together, the authors contest the boundaries of their common project for a pluralistic, heterogeneous, but urgent feminist ethics of nonviolence.
