Genesis of a New Human Being

GENESIS OF A NEW HUMAN BEING

Philosopher Luce Irigaray's new book To Be Born (Palgrave, 2017) offers a new way of conceiving what it means to be born. This conference explores birth, breath, the nature of origins, and the concept of being. Luce Irigaray is joined by an interdisciplinary group of scholars exploring different approaches to the themes in To Be Born.

Luce Irigaray is one of the most important thinkers of our time. She is director of research in philosophy at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris and author of more than thirty books translated into numerous languages, the most recent of which are Sharing the World (2008), In the Beginning, She Was (2012) and with Michael Marder, Through Vegetal Being (2016).
