Focusing on Antigone, Savitri, and Mary, the book offers an investigation into various goddesses and feminine figures from a variety of philosophical, mythological, theological, and literary contexts. The book also elaborates on the feminine aspects of selected concepts from modern philosophical texts, such as the \u003ci\u003eMatrix\u003c\/i\u003e in Jakob Böhme, \u003ci\u003eClara\u003c\/i\u003e in F. W. J. Schelling, \u003ci\u003ebeyng\u003c\/i\u003e in Martin Heidegger, \u003ci\u003echóra\u003c\/i\u003e in Jacques Derrida, and \u003ci\u003ebreath\u003c\/i\u003e in Luce Irigaray's thought. Drawing on Bracha M. Ettinger's concept of \u003ci\u003ematrixiality\u003c\/i\u003e, Skof proposes a new matrixial theory of philosophy, cosmology, and theology of love. Despite its many usages and appropriations, love remains a neglected topic within Western philosophy. With its new interpretation of Antigone and related readings of Irigaray, Kristeva, and Ettinger, \u003ci\u003eAntigone's Sisters\u003c\/i\u003e aims to identify some of the reasons for this forgetting of love, and to show that it is only love that can bring peace to our ethically disrupted world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLenart Skof\u003c\/b\u003e is Head of the Institute for Philosophical Studies at the Science and Research Center of Koper and Dean at Institutum Studiorum Humanitatis, both in Slovenia.
