The challenge of love

Kristeva and Irigaray

Morny Joy

pp. 89-112

Abstract

This investigation of the religious implications of the work of Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva presents a number of basic ideas concerning their evaluations of the nature of God in patriarchal cultures. It involves the insufficient attention – to the point of exclusion – of women and the "feminine" from all that is associated with the divine and absolute ideals. It then explores their respective suggestions to remedy this situation and the repercussions that could result from such changes.
