Description

In this thought-provoking work, Ivan Illich challenges the dominant understanding of gender and its relationship to society. He argues that a closer examination of attitudes towards masculinity and femininity is necessary to uncover a lost 'art of living'.

Illich contends that a radical scrutiny of scarcity, with a particular focus on the sexes and society, is essential to preventing the intensification of the current predicament. By exploring the intersection of scarcity and the sexes, he seeks to recover a more authentic way of living.

This book is a key work in the field of feminist theory and social sciences, offering a unique perspective on the complex relationships between gender, society, and human existence.
