Denying Biology : Essays in Gender and Pseudo-Procreation Hardback
by Warren Shapiro, Uli Linke
Hardback
Description
We know that human beings are part of nature yet Philosophical systems around the world deny or minimize this fact.
As the first book to take a systematic account of the universal human tendency to deny or minimize biology, this book considers a wide variety of these anti-biological systems and their relation to larger issues, particularly gender studies.
Discussed in this book are a wide variety of expressions of the antithesis between human beings and natural processes in which the latter are denied, denigrated, or minimized.
