Small quarto in white jacket; xxi, 209 pages; 24 cm; bibliographical references (pages 195-202) and index. "What if psychoanalysis had chosen Antigone rather than Oedipus? This book traces the relation between ethics and desire in important philosophical texts that focus on femininity and use Antigone as their model. It shows that the notion of feminine desire is conditioned by a view of women as being prone to excesses and deficiencies in relation to ethical norms and rules. In her discussion, Sjoholm explores Mary Wollstonecraft's work, as well as readings of Antigone by G.W.F. Hegel, Martin Heidegger, Luce Irigaray, Jacques Lacan, and Judith Butler."--Jacket. / Contents: Morality and the invention of feminine desire -- Sexuality versus recognition: feminine desire in the ethical order -- The purest poem: Heidegger's Antigone -- From Oedipus to Antigone: revisiting the question of feminine desire -- Family politics/family ethics: Butler, Lacan, and the thing beyond the object. // Feminist ethics.
