Senses of the Subject - by Judith Butler (Paperback)

This book by Judith Butler is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics, and the construction of the self.

In it, Butler explores how passions such as desire, rage, love, and grief are shaped by historical fields of power and how they inform our understanding of subject formation.

Through an engagement with Hegel, Kierkegaard, Descartes, Spinoza, Malebranche, Merleau-Ponty, Freud, Irigaray, and Fanon, Butler develops an embodied account of ethical relations that challenges traditional notions of agency and action.

The book is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the complex interplay between power, desire, and identity, and it will appeal to scholars and students of philosophy, gender studies, and critical theory.
