This book traces the relation between ethics and desire in important philosophical texts that focus on femininity and use Antigone as their model. It shows that the notion of feminine desire is conditioned by a view of women as being prone to excesses and deficiencies in relation to ethical norms and rules. Sjöholm explains Mary Wollstonecraft's work, as well as readings of Antigone by G.W.F. Hegel, Martin Heidegger, Luce Irigaray, Jacques Lacan, and Judith Butler. This book introduces the concept of the "Antigone complex" in order to illuminate the obscure and multifaceted question of feminine desire, which has given rise to the fascination of generations of philosophers and other theoreticians, as well as readers and spectators. At the same time the book argues for a notion of desire that is intrinsically related to ethics. The ethical question posed by Antigone, and explored in the book, is: what determines those actions that one must do, as opposed to those that one ought to do? 410 0$aCultural memory in the present. 606 $aFeminist ethics 606 $aDesire (Philosophy) 606 $aFemininity (Philosophy) 606 $aAntigone (Greek mythology) 615 0$aFeminist ethics. 615 0$aDesire (Philosophy) 615 0$aFemininity (Philosophy) 615 0$aAntigone (Greek mythology) 676 $a170/.82 700 $aSjoholm$b Cecilia$0619807 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817621603321 996 $aThe Antigone complex$93921960 997 $aUNINA
