This exciting new book is the follow-up to Irigaray's "The Way of
Love", arguably her most important and widely-discussed work to
date.In this important new book, a follow up to "The Way of Love",
Luce Irigaray, one of France's most influential contemporary
theorists, turns once again to the concept of otherness.We are
accustomed to considering the other as an individual without paying
sufficient attention to the particular world or specific culture to
which the other belongs. A phenomenological approach to this
question offers some help, notably through Heidegger's analyses of
'Dasein', 'being-in-the-world' and 'being with'. Nevertheless,
according to Heidegger, it remains almost impossible to identify an
other outside of our own world. 'Otherness' is subjected to the
same values by which we are ourselves defined and thus we remain in
'sameness'. In this age of multiculturalism and in the light of
Nietzsche's criticism of our values and Heidegger's deconstruction
of our interpretation of truth, Irigaray questions the validity of
the 'sameness' that sits at the root of Western culture.
