This paper examines how Luce Irigaray, Judith Butler, and bell hooks have turned to spirituality in their feminist discourses. Their turn to spirituality may be quite unexpected, especially to the people who tend to associate spirituality with institutionalized religions and think that it oppresses women rather than empowers them. As for Irigaray, she pushes her sexualized politics into a spiritual domain and yet in turn elaborates how spirituality contributes to the liberation of women and a loving relationship between men and women. Butler also adds a spiritual dimension to her ethical pondering for the purpose of theorizing interdependency. Her emphasis on transcendence of temporal zone, and her statement of “I am my relation to you” mark quite a radical turn to spirituality on the basis of her awareness of epistemic limit. As for hooks, she regards spirituality as a vital vehicle to affirm herself and her people and to effect political activism. The three feminists all attempt to present spirituality as an antidote to contemporary disease.
Abstract
This paper examines how Luce Irigaray, Judith Butler, and bell hooks have turned to spirituality in their feminist discourses. Their turn to spirituality may be quite unexpected, especially to the people who tend to associate spirituality with institutionalized religions and think that it oppresses women rather than empowers them. As for Irigaray, she pushes her sexualized politics into a spiritual domain and yet in turn elaborates how spirituality contributes to the liberation of women and a loving relationship between men and women. Butler also adds a spiritual dimension to her ethical pondering for the purpose of theorizing interdependency. Her emphasis on transcendence of temporal zone, and her statement of “I am my relation to you” mark quite a radical turn to spirituality on the basis of her awareness of epistemic limit. As for hooks, she regards spirituality as a vital vehicle to affirm herself and her people and to effect political activism. The three feminists all attempt to present spirituality as an antidote to contemporary disease.
