What it's about

Sex and Character (1903) is Otto Weininger’s seminal and controversial philosophical work exploring gender, identity, and morality. In it, he posits stark distinctions between masculinity and femininity, associating reason and individuality with men, and emotionality and passivity with women. The book also reflects his internal conflict with his Jewish identity, expressing deeply problematic and antisemitic views. Despite its polarizing content, the book influenced major intellectuals of the early 20th century and remains a subject of critical debate.
