The Gift of the Other brings together a philosophical analysis of
time, embodiment, and ethical responsibility with a feminist
critique of the way women's reproductive capacity has been
theorized and represented in Western culture. Author Lisa Guenther
develops the ethical and temporal implications of understanding
birth as the gift of the Other, a gift which makes existence
possible, and already orients this existence toward a radical
responsibility for Others. Through an engagement with the work of
Levinas, Beauvoir, Arendt, Irigaray, and Kristeva, the author
outlines an ethics of maternity based on the givenness of existence
and a feminist politics of motherhood which critiques the
exploitation of maternal generosity.
