Sex and Character. A Principal Investigation

Misogynist, cynic, a young man who earned his doctorate at twenty-two, a suicide, a genius. Different things have been said about Otto Weininger, but one thing remains undeniable: although his work «Sex and Character» is now perceived as a radical milestone in the history of research on the subject, it has fundamentally influenced gender discourse. In his work, the author reevaluates established facts and concepts about the nature of male and female, explores differences and similarities, their struggle and the possibility of alliance, and delves into the woman question.
