Since Plato's allegory of the cave, light and the role of sight have been accorded a unique position in Western thought. They have stood as a metaphor for truth and objectivity and the very axis of modern rationalism. More recently however, this status has come under significant criticism from continental and feminist thought which has stressed the privileging of subjectivity and masculinity inWarwick studies in European philosophy.VisionLightTouchPhilosophy, French20th centuryVision.Light.Touch.Philosophy, French121/.35Vasseleu Cathryn1957,1496210MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783161903321Textures of light3720728UNINA
