John Martis

Subjectivity as Radical Hospitality

Recasting the Self with Augustine, Descartes, Marion, and Derrida

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents the philosophical subject as a self-in-loss structured in continuous openness to the other-than-self: I welcome, therefore I am. With Marion and Derrida for foil, Martis examines Cartesian-Augustinian self-based substantiality, discovering a self jointly constituted in Kantian transcendentality and phenomenological givenness.
