Book Description Violence and the factors that promote it are pressing concerns for contemporary society. In ALTARED GROUND, Brian Schroeder presents an engagement on the subject of violence between Levinas and Plato, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Gadamer, Merleau-Ponty and Derrida. In addition to an analysis of interpersonal violence, Schroeder engages the themes of alterity, community, language, responsibility, transcendence, and divinity. Schroeder's task is nothing less than the determination of a nontotalizing ground for the ethical relationship that preserves the autonomy of the subject--the principal legacy of the Enlightenment. | ||
