Adriana Cavarero Bücher
1. Jänner 1947
Adriana Cavareros philosophische Arbeit befasst sich mit der politischen Bedeutung des Denkens und dem 'Denken der sexuellen Differenz'. Sie untersucht die westliche philosophische Tradition aus einer feministischen Perspektive und interpretiert Denkerinnen wie Hannah Arendt durch Konzepte wie Einzigartigkeit, Handeln und Erzählen auf innovative Weise neu. Ihre Untersuchung stellt die individuelle und einzigartige Existenz des Menschen in den Vordergrund, die in seinem Körper und Geschlecht verwurzelt ist. Cavarero lehnt abstrakte philosophische Subjekte und postmoderne Fragmentierung ab und setzt sich stattdessen für die lebendige Einzigartigkeit des Selbst ein, das durch Beziehungen zu anderen und die Akzeptanz verkörperter Individualität geformt wird.

Toward a Feminist Ethics of Nonviolence brings together major feminist thinkers to debate Cavarero's call for a postural ethics of nonviolence and a sociality rooted in bodily interdependence.Toward a Feminist Ethics of Nonviolence brings together three major feminist thinkers--Adriana Cavarero, Judith Butler, and Bonnie Honig--to debate Cavarero's call for a postural ethics of nonviolence. The book consists of three longer essays by Cavarero, Butler, and Honig, followed by shorter responses by a range of scholars that widen the dialogue, drawing on post-Marxism, Italian feminism, queer theory, and lesbian and gay politics. Together, the authors contest the boundaries of their common project for a pluralistic, heterogeneous, but urgent feminist ethics of nonviolence.
Exploring the intricate connection between selfhood and storytelling, Adriana Cavarero presents a thought-provoking examination of how narratives shape our identities. This acclaimed work delves into the philosophical and feminist implications of personal narratives, offering fresh insights into the nature of self-representation and the role of storytelling in human experience. Cavarero's perspective invites readers to reconsider the importance of narrative in understanding the self.
Words like 'terrorism' and 'war' are no longer capable of encompassing the scope of cntemporary violence. With this book, Cavarero effectively renders such terms obsolete. She introduces a new word, 'horrorism', to capture the experience of violence.

Cavarero refutes a long-standing set of assumptions in moral philosophy by contesting the classical figure of the homo erectus or 'upright man,' and by proposing a feminist, altruistic, open model of the subject-one inclined toward others.
