More about the book
The book critiques 'second wave' feminists by examining the perspectives of influential philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Hobbes, and Kant on the concept of the 'universal human subject.' It explores the tension between feminist efforts to include women in these philosophical frameworks and the argument that such ideas are inherently masculine, thus marginalizing the feminine. This analysis highlights the complexities of feminist discourse and the philosophical underpinnings that shape discussions around gender and identity.
