Nourishment: A Philosophy of the Political Body

by Corine Pelluchon

Book Overview

This book seeks to replace the philosophy of the subject, underlying contemporary contractualism, with another philosophy. The ethics of vulnerability, which emphasizes the category of passivity, is the first phase in this philosophy of corporality, further supplemented in Nourishment by a philosophy of "living from," which takes the materiality of our existence seriously: hunger, oikos, space and time, place, and enjoyment.
