Asserting that the reverse of the biblical text "And the Word was made flesh" is true, that it is in and through the flesh that every philosophy, every discourse, is born, Goldenberg explores her own divided identity as feminist, atheist, and Jew. "Through a series of insightful, passionate, and sometimes humorous essays, Goldenberg examines the way (feminism and psychoanalysis) interact with, contradict, and deepen one another."--Hypathia. no reviews | add a review
One woman's journey from abstract thinking toward a philosophy grounded in the body, in human relatedness. The author finds in Freudian and in feminist theory a commitment to concrete experience, to the body, and to community that religious theories of reality lack. Chapters: the cultural context in which we do theory; reflection on the sexuality of sport; thoughts on identify from a Jewish feminist atheist; archetypal theory and the separation of mind and body; rereading Jung's Memories . . . ; the talking cure of feminism and psychoanalysis; religious notions in the convergence of psychoanalysis and feminism; and the return of the Goddess.
