Transcendence and Feminist Philosophy

Pamela Sue Anderson

Chapter Chapter 2 in Women and the Divine, 2009, pp 27-54 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter intends to treat the title Women and the Divine: Touching Transcendence as a philosophical topic, offering one response to Luce Irigaray’s “Toward a Divine in the Feminine” (Chapter 1 in this volume), while also drawing from her “Divine Women” and “I Love to You.” I would like to raise a critical question for my readers: Can Irigaray, or those who follow her, avoid the ethically debilitating forms of transcendence-in-immanence that Simone de Beauvoir successfully uncovers in the immanence of the female narcissist, lover, and mystic?
