This collection of original essays by preeminent interpreters of
continental philosophy explores the question of whether Western
thought and culture have been dominated by a vision-centered
paradigm of knowledge, ethics, and power. It focuses on the
character of vision in modern philosophy and on arguments for and
against the view that contemporary life and thought are
distinctively "ocularcentric." The authors examine these ideas in
the context of the history of philosophy and consider the character
of visual discourse in the writings of Plato, Descartes, Hegel,
Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, Benjamin, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty,
Levinas, Derrida, Foucault, Gadamer, Wittgenstein, and Habermas.
With essays on television, the visual arts, and feminism, the book
will interest readers in cultural studies, gender studies, and art
history as well as philosophers.
