Was können naturwissenschaftliche Theorien zum heutigen Verständnis der Verleiblichung in den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften beitragen? Und inwieweit begünstigt besonders die neurowissenschaftliche Forschung neue Theorien von Geist und Körper? Feministinnen werfen den Neurowissenschaften seit Langem biologischen Reduktionismus vor, doch wie Elizabeth A. Wilson darlegt, sind neurologische Theorien - und insbesondere einschlägige Beschreibung...
In Eingeweide, Pillen, Feminismus fordert Elizabeth A. Wilson Feministinnen auf, ihre ablehnende Haltung gegenu¿ber biologischen und pharmazeutischen Daten zu u¿berdenken. Sie stellt die Frage, welches begriffliche und methodische Neuland sich die feministische Theorie erschliessen kann, indem sie sich der Biologie gegenu¿ber weniger instinktiv ablehnend verhält.

During the past two decades representations of noncompact Lie groups and Lie algebras have been studied extensively, and their application to other branches of mathematics and to physical sciences has increased enormously. Several theorems which were proved in the abstract now carry definite mathematical and physical sig nificance. Several physical observations which were not understood before are now explained in terms of models based on new...

Wilson explores the convergence between Derrida, Freud and recent cognitive theory to pursue two important issues: the nature of cognition and neurology, and the politics of feminist and critical interventions into contemporary scientific psychology. T...
