Features: Luce Irigaray, a contemporary French psychoanalyst, philosopher, and linguist, is the author of this book. It aims to explore the relationship between men and women, emphasizing human subjectivity and affirming gender differences. The author is also deeply influenced by Eastern culture, advocating for attention to the body and cultivating one's breath. Irigaray envisions a new form of feminism—building a gender culture where two subjects respect each other's differences. She believes that only on the basis of mutual respect for subjectivity can humans develop true selves, create genuine freedom and happiness through collaboration and communication.
