Way of Love

Luce Irigaray is Director of Research in Philosophy at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris. Now acknowledged as one of France's most influential theorists, her work focuses on the culture of two subjects, masculine and feminine, particularly through the liberation of a feminine subjectivity.

'Irigaray's work is always dazzling, surprising and unexpected. No other thinker of Irigaray's generation has her range, insight and originality. No other thinker has managed to illuminate the challenge and the mystery that the other, the other of sexual difference, brings to all encounters, and to all knowledges. In The Way of Love Irigaray opens up philosophy to the mystery of sexual difference, a mystery inscribed in but covered over in all of Western thought.' Elizabeth Grosz
