The questions of the death of philosophy and the possibility of ethics are discussed in this text, offering a sustained critique of the identification of Nietzsche with the position of woman and in the relation of philosophy to the feminine. The relationship between philosophy and its "other", stressing its ethical implications is focused upon. Rather than concluding with the end of metaphysics and philosophy, this text opens up a discussion of philosophy conceived otherwise, offering new readings of the figure of woman in Nietzsche's writings. The author engages in a dialogue between Derrida's "Spurs" and Irigaray's "Marine Lover", using their work on Nietzsche to engage the larger question of the ethical relation to an "other". Oliver follows Irigaray in suggesting an ethics of maternity that goes beyond the death toll of philosophy and the toll extracted from woman/feminine/maternity by philosophy.
