Reviews
Building on some of her previous work on the importance of international and intercultural understanding, Irigaray argues that interculturality, represented here mainly by yoga (an Eastern practice adopted by many Westerners), can help to move us towards full realization of what it means to be human. Irigaray's writing is always idiosyncratic as well as passionate, and here she is even more autobiographical than usual. This is one of her most readable works-and one of her most enjoyable! -- Michael Worton, coeditor of French Studies in and for the Twenty-First Century
Continues to contribute to opening a different way of being and practicing philosophy, a way wholeheartedly grounded in being in relation with another who is different to us, another who always remains a mystery. * Philosophy East and West *
