Furthermore, our epoch of history is different from the Hegelian one and demands that we consider additional aspects of human subjectivity. This is essential if we are to overcome the nihilism inherent in our traditional metaphysics without falling into aworse nihilism due to a lack of rigorous thinking common today.
The increasing power of technique and technologies as well as the task of building a world culture are two other challenges we face. Our sexuate belonging provides us with a universal living determination of our subjectivity - now a dual subjectivity - and also with a natural energy potential which allows us to use technical resources without becoming dependent on them.
Luce Irigaray is a leading thinker of our age. She has written more than thirty books translated into various languages, the most recent of which are To Be Born (2017), Through Vegetal Being (co-authored with Michael Marder, 2016), In the Beginning, She Was (2012) and Sharing the World (2008). She is also the co-editor of Towards a New Human Being (with Mahon O'Brien and Christos Hadjioannou, 2019), a volume in which early-career researchers and established academics respond to To Be Born, as part of a longer-term undertaking with a view to giving birth to a new human being and building a new world.
