What evidence does Grosz give of somatophobia in Western thought?
Grosz identifies at least three lines of investigation of the body in contemporary thought which may be regarded as the heirs of Cartesianism. What are they? Why should feminist theory be committed to moving beyond them?
• What are some of the ways in which Grosz presents the metaphysics of Spinoza? How does she describe this? How is it different from Descartes? (what happens to Cartesian mind-body dualism in Spinoza?)
