Book that goes around the question ... and more.

This much me in this last work of Alain de Benoist is that the author addresses the subject of "gender" a non-confrontational but rather going back to the source of this ideology. Indeed, Alain de Benoist, as an adept of the history of ideas, places the topic of gender in a filiation (the "gender" is inscribed under him like a drift of egalitarian leveling and neo-feminism), it which allows to see a clearer and can override the sterile debates that poison the public space.

While some neo-feminist assertions are clearly chilling, the author avoids the pitfall of blanket condemnation and lies by omission by very broad bibliographical references and replacing this drift in the broader context of modernity (see first chapter) and our relationship to the individual and to the "other". As for the few short texts that conclude the book, including dealing with biology, patriarchy and the sexual relationship in Christianity, they guide thinking on other very interesting questions.

So I highly recommend this book, which moreover is a clear and limpid writing.
