While looking through the website for St. Augustine's Press today, I saw John Deely's latest in the new releases -- Semiotic Animal. It was the subtitle that really caught my eye: A Postmodern Definition of
“Human Being” Transcending Patriarchy and Feminism. What does this mean, exactly? Patriarchy and Feminism are related to the sphere of moral action though they are rooted in conceptions of sex (or gender). So does Mr. Deely attempt to downplay sex differences?

I would guess that he means ridding ourselves of Pseudo-Dionysius' linear conception of hierarchy. Cf. pp. 198ff. of Fr. Benedict Ashley, O.P.'s The Way toward Wisdom.
