Description
To Be Two by Luce Irigaray is a major new work that explores the issue central to her thought: redefining Being and Identity. French philosopher Luce Irigaray examines how identity can be created or discovered in relation to others, and what it means to be someone. Irigaray grounds her project in relation to key thinkers such as Sartre, Levinas, and Merleau-Ponty, while also introducing new elements into philosophical discourse, including the concepts of earth, fire, and water. This ambitious text brings together politics, philosophy, and poetry, offering a provocative and thought-provoking exploration of identity and difference. Translated by Monique Rhodes and Marco Cocito-Monoc, To Be Two is a significant work that will become one of Irigaray's central texts.
