Reviews

a thorough and often challenging map to the particularly complex Platonic legacy of twentieth-century feminist philosophy. * Adam Lecznar, Classics for All * anyone interested in French theory, in particular in French feminist thinkers and their interaction with Greek philosophy, above all Plato and Aristotle, will find here a clear, well written and thoughtful guide through the complexities of that strand of European continental philosophy. * Marco Formisano, Thersites * In summary, his book not only constitutes an excellent source study, but also an important read for anyone interested in enriching their understanding of the intriguing engagement these three postmodern French thinkers had with the ancient text and with their male counterparts in the defining moments of postmodern intellectual thought. * Maria Palaiologou, Hypatia Reviews *


In summary, his book not only constitutes an excellent source study, but also an important read for anyone interested in enriching their understanding of the intriguing engagement these three postmodern French thinkers had with the ancient text and with their male counterparts in the defining moments of postmodern intellectual thought. * Maria Palaiologou, Hypatia Reviews *
