Description
Inclinations: A Critique of Rectitude by Adriana Cavarero Adriana Cavarero's new book offers a fresh perspective on subjectivity, challenging traditional notions of the self in favour of an altruistic, open model. By examining the moral and political significance of posture, she proposes an alternative to the classical figure of "upright man", instead advocating for a more inclined approach. Cavarero draws on a wide range of philosophical texts, artworks, and literary works to develop her argument, including references to Plato, Kant, and Virginia Woolf. This thought-provoking book invites readers to reconsider their understanding of subjectivity and its relationship with others.
