French philosopher Luce Irigaray has become one of the twentieth centurys most influential feminist thinkers. Among her many writings are three books (with a projected fourth) in which she challenges the Western traditions construals of human beings relations to the four elements--earth, air, fire, and water--and to nature. In answer to Heideggers undoing of Western metaphysics as a forgetting of Being, Irigaray seeks in this work to begin to think out the Being of sexedness and the sexedness of Being. This volume is the first English translation of Loubli de lair chez Martin Heidegger (1983). In this complex, lyrical, meditative engagement with the later work of the eminent German philosopher, Irigaray critiques Heideggers emphasis on the element of earth as the ground of life and speech and his oblivion or forgetting of air. With the other volumes (Elemental Passions and Marine Lover of Friedrich Nietzsche, published elsewhere) in Irigarays elemental series, The Forgetting of Air offers a fundamental rereading of basic tenets in Western metaphysics. And with its emphasis on dwelling and human habitation, it will be important reading not only in the humanities but also in architecture and the environmental sciences.
