Book synopsis

This book is a collection of philosophical essays radically interrogating key notions and preoccupations of the phenomenological tradition. While using Heidegger's "Being and Time" as its permanent point of reference and dispute, this collection also confronts other important philosophers, such as Kant, Nietzsche and Derrida. The projects of these pivotal thinkers of finitude are relentlessly pushed to their extreme, with respect to both their unexpected horizons and to their as yet unexplored analytical potential. "A Finite Thinking" shows that, paradoxically, where the thought of finitude comes into its own it frees itself, not only to reaffirm a certain transformed and transformative presence, but also for a non-religious reconsideration and reaffirmation of certain theologemes, as well as of the body, heart and love. This book shows the literary dimension of philosophical discourse, providing important enabling ideas for scholars of literature, cultural theory and philosophy.
