Is patriarchy an illness of democratic societies or a structural
problem? To answer this dilemma, Back Over the Sexual Contract: A
Hegelian Critique of Patriarchy examines the problem of patriarchy
in modern European political theory by reopening the question of
the "sexual contract." Through a study of the thought of Thomas
Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Immanuel Kant,
Lorenzo Rustighi argues that the conceptual roots of male
patriarchal entitlement should be sought in the logic of authorized
power that underpins the modern understanding of both the state and
the family. Challenging the mainstream distinction between the
private and the public, Rustighi provocatively suggests that
patriarchy is not something that undermines democracy as an alien
threat, but is rather inscribed in the intrinsically
anti-democratic effects of the understanding of democracy construed
by the modern rationale of the social contract. He puts forward a
Hegelian argument to propose an unconventional constitutional
approach to feminist political theory that is intended to help us
rethink democracy beyond its inherent impasses.
