Yet recent debates in deconstruction have shown that gender has never been a stable matter. In the history of philosophy 'female' and 'woman' are full of ambiguity. What does deconstruction have to offer feminist criticism of the history of philosophy?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eYielding Gender\u003c\/em\u003e explores this question by examining three crucial areas; the issue of gender as 'troubled'; deconstruction; and feminist criticism of the history of philosophy. The first part of the book discusses the work of Judith Butler, Jacques Derrida, and contemporary French feminist philosophy including key figures such as Luce Irigiray. Particular attention is given to the possibilities offered by deconstruction for understanding the history of philosophy.\u003cbr\u003eThe second part considers and then challenges feminist interpretations of some key figures in the history of philosophy. Penelope Deutscher sketches how Rousseau, St. Augustine and Simone de Beauvoir have described gender and argues that their readings of gender are in fact empowered by gender's own contradiction and instability rather than limited by it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415139458\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.1 x 6.1 x 0.8 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Land DU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51674486702381,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/9748\/7917\/files\/51yFbJ-SObL.jpg?v=1764409361","url":"https:\/\/ebookland.in\/products\/yielding-gender-feminism-deconstruction-and-the-history-of-philosophy","provider":"Book Land DU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
