Rachel Jones – författare

The work of French Philosopher Luce Irigaray has exerted a profound influence on feminist thinking of recent decades and provides a far-reaching challenge to western philosophy''s entrenched patriarchal norms.

This book guides the reader through Irigaray''s critical and creative transformation of western thought. Through detailed analysis of her most important text, Speculum of the Other Woman, Rachel Jones carefully examines Irigaray''s transformative readings of such icons of the western tradition as Plato, Descartes, Kant and Hegel. She shows that these readings underpin Irigaray''s claim that western philosophy has been dependent on the forgetting of both sexual difference and of our singular beginnings in birth. In response, Irigaray seeks to recover a positive account of sexual difference which would release woman from her traditional position as the ''other'' of the subject and allow her to speak as a subject in her own right.

In a sensitive reading of Irigaray''s work, Jones shows why this distinctively feminist project necessarily involves the transformation of the fundamental terms of western metaphysics. By foregrounding Irigaray''s approach to questions of otherness and alterity, she concludes that, for Irigaray, cultivating an ethics of sexuate difference is the condition of ethical relations in general. Lucidly and persuasively written, this book will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars seeking to understand Irigaray''s original contribution to philosophical and feminist thought.

Having children is joyful, and parents are naturally programmed to raise them to be well-rounded individuals that are fully equipped to face the world, right? This may be the case on another planet, but here on Earth, we all know differently! Parents are suddenly expected to know how to teach their beloved children how to cope with a maelstrom of emotions that are completely alien to them and have reactions that suit the rest of the planet.

The pressure on parents is intense, and they often struggle to ask for help. And that is why we have books and online resources to help. Parenting is the most difficult job in the world so having help is essential. Don''t suffer alone. Use this book to help you navigate the treacherous waters of children''s emotions and emerge from the journey successfully.

We all experience intense emotions like anger at times. Not only is anger normal, but it can serve as a great motivator and a way to improve one''s emotional intelligence. It can encourage self-improvement, instill a sense of self-control, and even trigger our "fight" response which is necessary for survival. At the most basic level, anger can help children determine whether they''re being treated fairly and allows them to tell when things aren''t right. That being said, anger can become a severe problem if it grows out of control and leads to aggressive behaviors.

An angry child isn''t a bad one, nor are their attitudes and actions necessarily a result of behavioral problems. These intense emotions are often triggered by psychological, social, or even hormonal problems, which is why parents should try to understand where their children''s anger comes from to handle the situation effectively. In most cases, the root problem is not apparent, which is why parents automatically assume that their children are misbehaving, so they take action accordingly. Grounding or yelling at a child who can''t control their anger isn''t going to fix anything and will likely make things worse. Fortunately, upon reading this book, you''ll understand whether your child experiences uncontrollable anger and potential reasons why they might be angrier than others.

Every child should be able to manage their anger. Uncontrolled anger can destroy relationships and even stunt growth. You have to be deliberate when teaching your children about emotions and anger management. We have compiled beginner-friendly guides and tips in this book to assist parents in explaining emotions to their young children. The earlier children learn about their emotions, the better equipped they will be later in life.

Are you a guardian or parent who is unsure how to explain feelings and emotions to your children? Do you have trouble understanding and labeling your emotions? Do your children always throw tantrums? Is your child feeling left out because of a lack of emotional intelligence? Perhaps they are unaware of what triggers them or how to avoid a meltdown. This book has been written to answer all of your questions.
