ABSTRACT
Feminism's generosity in the discourse of faith has been to demand the reexamination of who the God is that any one of us has faith in, and to show the extent to which gender ascription is located in understandings of God that masquerade as 'neutral' or objectively and equally true for all. For Butler, the differentiation of power, its distribution in and across the production and subjection of persons, constructs sexual difference. The feminist critique of Aristotle has in large part grounded itself through an analysis of Aristotle's Politics, whilst finding supporting references in his remarks on the inferiority of woman in De Generatione Animalium. Eckhart understands Aristotle in a way entirely differently from many feminist critics, and yet overturns Aristotle's description of sexual difference in such a way that he grounds it in an 'inner' and 'outer' that gestures towards Judith Butler's definition of psyche, with one important difference.
