Philosophy of Finitude: Heidegger, Levinas and Nietzsche
Autor Rafael Winkleren Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 feb 2020
An experience of the unthinkable is possible in our encounter with the uniqueness of death, the singularity of being, and of the self and the other. This 'thinking of finitude' also has political implications, as it provides us with a way to talk about, and evaluate, absolute strangeness and, by implication, the absolute stranger or foreigner.
Illuminating Heidegger's writings on the question of ontology, ethics and history, Winkler proves that this encounter with thought's limits is one of the mainstays of the philosophies of difference of Heidegger, Levinas, and Nietzsche.

Recenzii
Through a compelling and illuminating study, Rafael Winkler asks whether "uniqueness" is a possible experience and how it should be thought. He deals with this concept in a variety of ways: the uniqueness of being, the self, the other human being, death, and responsibility for the other. By situating itself at the limits of thought, the book presents new facets of the philosophy of absolute difference. Readers will find much to ponder as the book also calls for an engaged reflection on a highly contentious problem: finitude.
A unique, original, and very welcome contribution to philosophical and literary studies of the self, experience, and singularity. Written with an admirable rigour in explication and analysis, a lucidity in expression, and an always cogent line of reasoning, Philosophy of Finitude explores the limit experiences of the 'I' through the focus on Heidegger, Levinas, and Nietzsche, that produces exciting fascinating new readings both of selfhood and identity.
