Based on a detailed analysis of gender in Stanley Cavell's
treatment of the skeptical problem, this book addresses the
relationship between gender and religion in modern skepticism.
Engaging in dialogue with Julia Kristeva's philosophy, Viefhues
claims that a religious problem underlies Cavell's understanding of
the feminine. The feminine which the skeptic fears is construed as
a placeholder for the beyond, marking the transcendence of our
origins which are elusive yet at the same time part of ourselves.
It is argued that a religious question of origins thus lies at the
heart of the modern skeptical problem.
