- Abstract
Roberts's greatest achievement in the book may be her extension of Irigarayan dialectics beyond the context of sexuate difference alone, following underappreciated lines in Irigaray's own work. Brief discussions of essentialism aside, Roberts does not detail the extent to which sexuate subjectivity may or may not take on transhistorical aspects for Irigaray. Synthesizing Irigaray's account of the Hegelian slave-master dialectic with her analysis of Plato, Roberts develops an account of the four terms of Irigarayan dialectics - you, me, the here, and the beyond (Irigaray [1], 21) - through which to rethink intersubjectivity in these contexts.
