Reviews for Heidegger, Reproductive Technology, & The Motherless Age

“It is an excellent work for anyone who wants to learn more about Heidegger, especially Heidegger's work on technology … . It is also an important work for feminist philosophers interested in IVF and/or surrogacy, since it provides a new way to understand their imbrication in the enframed and enframing world of modernity, a world, Belu shows, that both constructs and controls women as resources.” (Lorraine Markotic, Hypatia Reviews Online, hypatiareviews.org, November 2, 2020)
