Review Quotes: "Irigaray's works is always dazzling, surprising and unexpected. No other thinker of Irigaray's generation has her range, insight and originality. No other thinker has managed to illuminate the challenge and the mystery that the other, the other of sexual difference, brings to all encounters, and to all knowledge. In The Way of Love Irigaray opens up philosophy to the mystery of sexual differene a mystery inscribed in but covered over in all of Wester thought."
