Rosalyn Diprose argues that the usual approaches to ethics both perpetuate and remain blind to the mechanisms of the subordination of women. In Bodies of Women: Ethics, Embodiment and Sexual Differences, she claims that injustice against women is found in the social discourses and practices which both evaluate and constitute their modes of embodiment as improper in relation to men. Diprose critically analyses the attempts in both feminist and non-feminist ethics to recognise the role of sexual difference and the biomedical discourses whose descriptions mask a constitution and regulation of the 'body'. Her critiques draw on insights from Anglophone feminist theory and continental philosophy, and are supported by critical readings of Irigaray, Cornell and Fraser, Hegel, Nietzsche, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida and Foucault. What emerges is a new ethics of sexual difference which not only better locates the mechanisms of discrimination but also provides the means to subvert them. 606 $aFeminist ethics 606 $aWoman (Philosophy)$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aHuman reproduction$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aSex differences$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aBody image 606 $aHuman body$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aFeminist theory 615 0$aFeminist ethics. 615 0$aWoman (Philosophy)$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aHuman reproduction$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aSex differences$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aBody image. 615 0$aHuman body$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aFeminist theory. 676 $a176/.082 700 $aDiprose$b Rosalyn$0859662 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961357803321 996 $aThe bodies of women$94484417 997 $aUNINA
