Reviews

It is an excellent work for anyone who wants to learn more about Heidegger, especially Heidegger's work on technology ... . It is also an important work for feminist philosophers interested in IVF and/or surrogacy, since it provides a new way to understand their imbrication in the enframed and enframing world of modernity, a world, Belu shows, that both constructs and controls women as resources.
