Jakub Mácha

The Philosophy of Exemplarity

Singularity, Particularity, and Self-Reference

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers an original philosophical perspective on exemplarity. Inspired by Wittgenstein's later work and Derrida's theory of deconstruction, it argues that examples are not static entities but rather oscillate between singular and universal moments.
