书名: Textures of Light: Vision and Touch in Irigaray, Levinas and Merleau-Ponty (Warwick Studies in European Philosophy)
作者: Cathryn Vasseleu (Author)
出版社: Routledge; 1 edition (March 10, 1998)
语言: English
ISBN-10: 0415142741
ISBN-13: 978-0415142748
Book Description
Light has often been privileged as a metaphor for objectivity and truth in Western thought, a status that has been challenged by recent feminist thought as giving entitlement to the masculine. This book presents a compelling new perspective on this metaphor, and explores the role the visual plays in Western philosophy by examining the thought of Irigaray, Levinas and Merleau- Ponty. Textures of Light is one of the first studies to challenge current interpretations by presenting Irigaray as a philosopher of vision rather than touch.
Review
"A strikingly original reading of Luce Irigaray's meditations on sight." -- Martin Jay, University of California, Berkeley
"An original, sophisticated and nuanced contribution to feminist theory and Irigaray scholarship. An outstanding contribution is also made to reading Merleau-Ponty and Levinas in a way that adds a fascinating perspective to their standard interpreters." -- Tina Chanter, Brown University
