This original book enters the undeveloped territory of feminist metaphysics and offers a bold and unusual contribution to debates about identity, essence and self. Using a diverse range of theories – from Kant to chaos theory, from Kierkegaard to Deleuze, Irigaray, Butler and Oliver Sachs – this book challenges the assumption that metaphysics can remain unchanged by issues of sexual difference.
