In this seminal work, acclaimed philosopher Bernhard Waldenfels
deals with the problem of the nature of order after the
“shattering of the world,” and the loss of the idea of a
universal or fundamental order. Order in the Twilight unites
phenomenological methodology with recent work on the theory of
order, normativity, and dialogue, as well as structuralism and
Gestalt theory. Philosophically stringent, it expresses a more
optimistic attitude than much modern philosophy, especially
deconstruction. Waldenfels passes the question of order through
numerous defining aspects, and concludes that there is not one
global order, but rather various conflicting domains of order.
Whenever the boundary of a vital or experiential domain is crossed,
a discourse speaks at the boundary, not about it, and across a
threshold without abolishing it. The rest is rationalization, i.e.,
an attempt to find a place in the respective order for what is
to-be-ordered. But why, the author concludes, should a theory be
more unambiguous than reality? Order in the Twilight is an
important book at this time, because it may help lift the
humanities out of the skeptical, relativistic disarray in which
they have been embroiled in recent decades. Waldenfels does not
attempt to dictate what reality should be; rather, he is open to
any valid evidences. His book offers a solid footing to the human
and social sciences as they seek to escape from deconstructive
irrationalism.
