Reviews
These essays range from a discussion of the classical figure of Diotima to the contemporary work of Judith Butler, from reflections on Niels Bohr's philosophy-physics to reflections on monstrous bodies. The authors reflect on the multiplicity of bodies, which has been a core issue for feminist theory during the last fifty years. Belief, Bodies and Being provides English-speaking readers with access to work by contemporary European feminist philosophers - from France, Germany, Great Britain, and the Netherlands - in addition to work by North American authors, illustrating how combining classical training in philosophy with current feminist debates brings new light to bear on both philosophy and feminist theory. -- Robin May Schott, Senior Researcher, Danish Institute for International Studies
