Summary/Abstract: In this text Luce Irigaray enquires into questions pertaining to knowledge production, contemporarily derivative upon capitalist system of production and the ideology promoting sexual/gender neutrality, along with corporeal/bodily, class-related, and cultural non-differentiation. According to the female philosopher, the said system contributes to exploitation of not only human work, but most of all energy that fuels our ability to bond and be together. Therefore, going back to the most fundamental structure of human subjectivity determined by the sexuate difference, may prove to be not only a strategic resistance device meted out against capitalist organisation of work, but also a path leading to another world, where a coexistence acknowledging mutual/reciprocal difference may appear possible.
