Abstract
Abstract:Through the old Latin formula in vino veritas, I propose a deconstructive link between women, wine, and truth. Even though the phrase doesn’t involve an explicit reference to the feminine, I explore texts by Plato, Kant, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche, in which women are implicitly associated with themes of inebriation. My aim is to construct a “drunken syllogism” or an onerologism, as I have named it, that operates as follows: women are like wine > truth is a woman > in vino veritas. I state that a series of destructive effects follows from this onerologism for philosophy, which allows me to sustain a stronger thesis about the exclusion of the feminine from the realm of philosophy: the fear of its own ruin.
期刊介绍：
For over thirty years, diacritics has been an exceptional and influential forum for scholars writing on the problems of literary criticism. Each issue features articles in which contributors compare and analyze books on particular theoretical works and develop their own positions on the theses, methods, and theoretical implications of those works.
