Thinking with Irigaray takes up Irigaray's challenge to think beyond the androcentric, one-subject culture, identifying much that is useful and illuminative in Irigaray's work while also questioning some of her assumptions and claims. Some contributors reject outright her prescriptions for changing our culture, others suggest that her prescriptions are inconsistent with the basic ethical concerns of her project, and still others attempt to identify blind spots in her work. By confronting and challenging the mechanisms of masculine domination Irigaray has identified and applying these insights to a wide range of practical and contemporary concerns, including popular media representations of women's sexuality, feminist practice in the arts, political resistance, and yoga, the contributors demonstrate the unique potential of Irigaray's thought within feminist philosophy and gender studies.

Positions Luce Irigaray as one of the most important and radical political thinkers alive todayProvides an overview of Irigaray’s broader psychoanalytic and philosophical contexts that have not as yet been acknowledged, giving important context for engaging with her more recent writingsSituates Luce Irigaray as a political philosopher, helping us to fully appreciate her political project and her challenge to western modernity and rationalityConnects the political, ethical and ontological aspects of Irigaray’s, bringing the concrete political features of Irigaray’s philosophy of sexuate difference to the foreEngages with the intersections of race, class and coloniality in Irigaray’s work and connects it to decolonial thinkers more broadlyBringing together Luce Irigaray’s early psychoanalytically orientated writings with her more recent and more explicitly political writings, Irigaray and Politics weaves together the ontological, political and ethical dimensions of Irigaray’s philosophy of sexuate difference in imaginative ways. Laura Roberts argues that Irigaray’s philosophical–political project must be read as a critique of constructions of western modernity and rationality. When appreciated in this way, it becomes clear how Irigaray’s thought makes profound interventions into contemporary political movements and decolonial thought – themes that have never been covered before in Irigaray scholarship. This enables readers to recognise that the question of sexual difference in Irigaray’s philosophy is concerned not only with refiguring politics and political action, but with the foundational structures that govern existence itself.

Blossoming from a correspondence between Luce Irigaray and Michael Marder, Through Vegetal Being is an intense personal, philosophical, and political meditation on the significance of the vegetal for our lives, our ways of thinking, and our relations with human and nonhuman beings. The vegetal world has the potential to rescue our planet and our species and offers us a way to abandon past metaphysics without falling into nihilism. Luce Irigaray has argued in her philosophical work that living and coexisting are deficient unless we recognize sexuate difference as a crucial dimension of our existence. Michael Marder believes the same is true for vegetal difference.Irigaray and Marder consider how plants contribute to human development by sustaining our breathing, nourishing our senses, and keeping our bodies and minds alive. They note the importance of returning to ancient Greek tradition and engaging with Eastern teachings to revive a culture closer to nature. As a result, we can reestablish roots when we are displaced and recover the vital energy we need to improve our sensibility and relation to others. This generative discussion points toward a more universal way of becoming human that is embedded in the vegetal world.

Dit boek is de eerste Nederlandstalige inleiding over de Franse filosofe Luce Irigaray. Irigaray is bekend geworden met haar filosofie van de seksuele differentie. Hierin gaat zij uit van de gedachte dat de geslachten niet tot elkaar te reduceren zijn. Uiteindelijk wil zij met haar filosofie het perspectief van een cultuur schetsen waarin vrouwen en mannen onafhankelijk van elkaar identiteiten ontwikkelen. Irigaray ontwerpt tevens een alternatief voor de traditionele man-vrouwverhouding: de ontwikkeling tot zichzelf vormt de voorwaarde voor liefde tussen de geslachten.In deze studie wordt Irigarays project ingeleid en haar positie geschetst in de filosofische traditie. Haar verhouding tot Simone de Beauvoir komt aan de orde, en verder die tot Plato, Lacan en Hegel. Tot dusver werd Irigaray gekarakteriseerd als vertegenwoordigster van het Franse differentiedenken; deze studie vraagt aandacht voor het belang van Hegels dialectiek voor haar werk.

Engaging the World explores Luce Irigaray's writings on sexual difference, deploying the resources of her work to rethink philosophical concepts and commitments and expose new possibilities of vitality in relationship to nature, others, and to one's self. The contributors present a range of perspectives from multiple disciplines such as philosophy, literature, education, evolutionary theory, sound technology, science and technology, anthropology, and psychoanalysis. They place Irigaray in conversation with thinkers as diverse as Charles Darwin, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Gilles Deleuze, René Decartes, and Avital Ronell. While every essay challenges Irigaray's thought in some way, each one also reveals the transformative effects of her thought across multiple domains of contemporary life.
