Sex, metaphysics, and madness: unveiling the grail on human nature and mental disorder

New York: Peter Lang (2013)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Western metaphysics has been distorted by Aristotle's misconception of essence and (il)logic of male homophobia. Via its inscription of female bodies, this muddled metaphysics is causing a fragmentation of self that is currently leading to eating disorders. A spirogenetic model of essence and subjectivity may solve our metaphysical and thus mental ills.
