In this new and accessible book, Italy's best known feminist
philosopher examines the moral and political significance of
vertical posture in order to rethink subjectivity in terms of
inclination. Contesting the classical figure of homo erectus or
"upright man," Adriana Cavarero proposes an altruistic, open model
of the subject—one who is inclined toward others. Contrasting the
masculine upright with the feminine inclined, she references
philosophical texts (by Plato, Thomas Hobbes, Immanuel Kant, Hannah
Arendt, Elias Canetti, and others) as well as works of art (Barnett
Newman, Leonardo da Vinci, Artemisia Gentileschi, and Alexander
Rodchenko) and literature (Marcel Proust and Virginia Woolf).
