by Luce Irigaray (Author), Gillian Gill (Translator)

Published in France in 1980, Marine Lover is the first in a trilogy in which Luce Irigaray links the interrogation of the feminine in post-Hegelian philosophy with a pre-Socratic investigation of the elements. Irigaray undertakes to interrogate Nietzche, the grandfather of poststructuralist philosophy, from the point of view of water.

According to Irigaray, water is the element Nietzsche fears most. She uses this element in her narrative because for her there is a complex relationship between the feminine and the fluid. Irigaray's method is to engage in an amorous dialogue with the male philosopher. In this dialogue, she ruptures conventional discourse and writes in a lyrical style that defies distinction between theory, fiction, and philosophy.

Engaging in an amorous dialogue with the male philosopher, she links the investigation of the feminine in post-Hegelian philosophy with a pre-Socratic investigation of the elements. Irigaray ruptures conventional discourse, writing in dialogue form in a lyrical style that defies distinctions among theory, fiction, and philosophy.
