Encounters with Alphonso Lingis is the first extensive study of
this American philosopher who is gaining an international
reputation to augment his national one. Lingis's books have already
been translated into nearly a dozen languages, and writers from
many disciplines are finding his works a source for fresh
philosophical and scholarly inquiries. The distinguished
contributors to this volume reflect on their own encounters with
this unique American thinker as they engage his work from their
various critical perspectives. They address most of the central
themes found in his writings including singularity and otherness,
death and eroticism, emotions and rationality, embodiment and the
face, excess and the sacred. In the book's first section, the
contributors discuss Lingis's significance as a contemporary
philosopher, particularly with regard to such renowned figures as
Dante, Kant, Nietzsche, Foucault, and the major existential and
phenomenological thinkers of the past century. In the second
section, they focus on Lingis's ideas as the basis for inquiries
into additional fields, such as art, literature, cultural studies,
and politics. The book closes with a new essay by Lingis himself."
