The authors of these essays-among them Judith Butler, Elizabeth Weed, and Rosi Braidotti-shed new light on the relationship of Irigaray to many of the philosophers she has romanced, from Aristotle to Deleuze. This groundbreaking volume is the first collection of essays that attempts to go beyond the question of essentialism in order to provide a full critical assessment of Irigaray’s contribution to a number of fields, most notably philosophy.
