Toward a Politics of the (Im)Possible cover

Presents a philosophical discussion on the issues of the body and knowledge from a feminist perspective.

This book works at the intersection of two related yet different fields. One is the heterogeneous feminist effort to question universal forms of knowing. The second field follows from this conundrum: how does one think of the body when s/he speaks of embodiment? ‘Toward a Politics of the (Im)Possible’ engages the forefront of contemporary thought on the body, while remaining mindful of the requirements of a feminist approach.

‘This philosophically nuanced work examines discourse on “women’s question” with profound theoretical rigour. […] Scholars interested in gender studies, philosophy, political science, logic, ethics and philosophy will find this theoretically dense book extremely educative in terms of ideological, conceptual and ethical concerns.’ —Vibhuti Patel, ‘Europe solidare sans frontières’
