- Description
- This work postulates a new relationship between Carl Jung and Luce Irigaray. Several connections are developed between the philosophical and psychological work of both thinkers. Gray argues that there is a relationship between them that can be thought of in terms of Hegel's Master/Slave dialectic. She suggests that Irigaray's conception of the feminine is a critical re-visioning of the open-ended possibilities for human beings expressed in Jung's idea of individuation. Other subjects discussed in this book are: mimesis, essentialism, and the divine.
