Many scholars have struggled with Irigaray's focus on sexuate
difference, in particular with her claim that it is "ontological,"
wondering if this implies a problematically naive or essentialist
account of sexuate difference. As a result, the ethical vision
which Irigaray elaborates has not been taken up in a robust way in
the fields of philosophy, feminism, or psychoanalysis. By tracing
the notion of relation throughout Irigaray's work, this book
identifies a rigorous philosophical continuity between the three
self-identified "phases" in Irigaray's thought (despite some
critics' concerns that there is a discontinuity between these
phases) and clarifies the relational ontology that underlies
Irigaray's conceptualization of sexuate difference - one that
always already implies an ethical project. The text demonstrates
that an understanding of Irigaray's Heideggerian inheritance -
especially prominent in her later texts - is essential to grasping
the sense of the idea that sexuate difference is ontological - it
concerns Being, rather than beings. This book further develops
potential applications of this ontological notion of a "relational
limit" for the fields of philosophy, feminism, and psychotherapy.
