Description

This Routledge Studies in Critical Realism volume offers a rigorous philosophical examination of sex categories and their foundations. Author Carrie Hull engages with poststructuralist thought, particularly the influential work of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, whilst advancing a realist alternative that honours both biological and cultural variability. Hull demonstrates that despite poststructuralist challenges to natural sex categories, the sexed body remains naturally structured and profoundly meaningful. The book navigates the tension between poststructuralist arguments positioning biological sex as a continuum rather than binary, and the recognition that sex identity carries intrinsic significance. Essential reading for scholars in philosophy, critical realism, gender studies, and sociology seeking a sophisticated synthesis of poststructuralist insights with materialist accounts of embodied human difference.

Key Features

The Ontology of Sex critically engages with Michel Foucault and Judith Butler's poststructuralist theories whilst proposing a realist alternative framework.

Hull's analysis reconciles biological and cultural variability with the assertion that the sexed body is naturally structured and deeply meaningful.

Published by Routledge as part of the Critical Realism series, offering scholarly rigour for academic and advanced readers.

Addresses poststructuralist arguments treating biological sex as a continuum rather than binary, whilst maintaining sex identity as fundamentally significant.

Provides philosophers, gender theorists, and social scientists with a nuanced realist perspective on sex categories and embodied human difference.
