The political backlash in the United States is once again bringing patriarchy to the fore as an important point of reference in politics. It is becoming clear that patriarchy defines not only gender relations, but also our understanding of the state and the law, of origin, truth and metaphysics. Andrea Günter, on the other hand, proposes systematically replacing patriarchal modes of thinking and thereby redefining the elements of politics. Based on concepts developed by Aristotle, Hannah Arendt, and Plato she presents an alternative overall view of political elements understanding plurality as the underlying structure of politics.
