Because Nietzsche ultimately retreated into his own violent metaphysics of a \"will-to-power\" his critique has been radicalized by other philosophers who explore the \"body\" as a site of resistance to foundationalist metaphysics and for clues pointing toward nonfoundational modes of thinking and becoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe philosophies of \"body\" explored in this book are those of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Michel Foucault, and Julia Kristeva. In their respective analyses, oppressive modes of the \"will-to-truth\" include the \"objectifying thought\" of Enlightenment empiricism and idealism; classical and modern modes of rationality, discipline, and sexuality; as well as a \"mono-logical\" thinking operative in literature and religion. Each theorist attempts to retrieve \"remainders\" of these cultural truths as sites of resistance and of alternative modes of relatedness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book concludes by suggesting how these philosophies of \"body\" might reshape the \"imagination\" of contemporary constructive theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane MacDonald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 079142488X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791424889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 5.94w x 0.45d","brand":"Diane MacDonald","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448943980799,"sku":"9780791424889","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a6c702c-f2c9-4f75-b935-fbc34fdbbd8b.jpg?v=1777261284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transgressive-corporeality-diane-macdonald-9780791424889","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
