{"product_id":"the-forgetting-of-air-in-martin-heidegger-9780292738720","title":"The Forgetting of Air in Martin Heidegger","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrench philosopher Luce Irigaray has become one of the twentieth century's most influential feminist thinkers. Among her many writings are three books (with a projected fourth) in which she challenges the Western tradition's construals of human beings' relations to the four elements--earth, air, fire, and water--and to nature. In answer to Heidegger's undoing of Western metaphysics as a \"forgetting of Being,\" Irigaray seeks in this work to begin to think out the Being of sexedness and the sexedness of Being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume is the first English translation of \u003ci\u003eL'oubli de l'air chez Martin Heidegger\u003c\/i\u003e (1983). In this complex, lyrical, meditative engagement with the later work of the eminent German philosopher, Irigaray critiques Heidegger's emphasis on the element of earth as the ground of life and speech and his \"oblivion\" or forgetting of air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the other volumes (\u003ci\u003eElemental Passions\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMarine Lover of Friedrich Nietzsche, \u003c\/i\u003e published elsewhere) in Irigaray's \"elemental\" series, \u003ci\u003eThe Forgetting of Air\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fundamental rereading of basic tenets in Western metaphysics. And with its emphasis on dwelling and human habitation, it will be important reading not only in the humanities but also in architecture and the environmental sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLuce Irigaray is the author of over twenty books, including \u003ci\u003eSpeculum of the Other Woman\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThis Sex Which Is Not One\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAn Ethics of Sexual Difference\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslator Mary Beth Mader holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Texas at Austin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50526932631826,"sku":"9780292738720","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_6e60f291-a2dc-44cf-8ae4-c3d0eb2a0e46.jpg?v=1731286762","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-forgetting-of-air-in-martin-heidegger-9780292738720","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
