Evil and Givenness

The Thanatonic Phenomenon

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Evil and Givenness describes a phenomenological situation exclusive to evil. The central concept in this work, the thanatonic, identifies that phenomenality proper to evil, arriving by a parasitic mode of givenness and manifesting itself through four figures: trauma, the evil eye, the foreign-body, and the abject.
