Reviews for The Gift of the Other: Levinas and the Politics of Reproduction

"""Guenther presents an original, compelling, and lucid analysis of birth as a gilt that, if given rather than forced, grounds subjectivity, plurality, and ethical sociality. This is a groundbreaking work that revises Levinas's ethics for feminist reproductive politics, and it will have a significant impact on key debates in existential phenomenology, feminist theory, bioethics, and biopolitics."" -- Rosalyn Diprose, author of Corporeal Generosity: On Giving with Nietzsche, Merleau-Ponty, and Levina"
