Altared Ground - Levinas, History, Violence (Hardcover, New)

One of the most pressing concerns for contemporary society is the issue of violence and the factors that promote it. In Altared Ground, Brian Schroeder stages an engagement between Emmanuel Levinas, one of the leading figures in twentieth century Continental philosophy, and Plato, Hegel, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida and others. Not merely an exposition of Levinas's original and complex thinking, Altared Ground seeks to re-read the history of Western philosophy and religion by going beyond Levinas's alternatives to traditional theories of the self in order to suggest a notion of subjectivity that is not grounded in violence.
Schroeder contributes to current discussions of reconceiving subjectivity as inter-subjectivity in a postmodern context through a sustained analysis of interpersonal violence. In addition, he takes up the themes of alterity, ground, transcendence, responsibility, language, community, politics, divinity, and futurity.
