Why broach and challenge the question of neutrality? For some
urgent reasons. The neuter is generally considered to be the
condition of objectivity. However, historically, this is asserted
by a subject which is masculine and not neuter. Claiming that truth
and the way of reaching it are and must be in the neuter amounts to
a misuse of power and a falsification of the real. Living beings
are not naturally neuter; they are sexuate somehow or other.
Subjecting them to the neuter as a condition of their objective
status transforms living beings into cultural products deprived of
their own origin and dynamism, and builds a world in which the
development and the sharing of life are impossible. In this book,
four contributors explore this basic mistake of our culture
starting from the work of Heidegger and his insistence on
maintaining that our being in the world - our Dasein - must be in
the neuter. They question the nature of the truth which is then at
stake and the political mistakes that it can cause. It is not here
a question of sexuality strictly speaking nor of sexual choice. The
concern of the two men and the two women who participate in this
volume is with the sexuate determination of all living beings. Is
not Heidegger’s Dasein, as neutered and supposedly neutral, a
kind of technical device which prevents living beings from entering
into presence? If so, where might that ultimately lead?
