Is freedom our most essential belonging, the intimate source of
self-mastery, an inalienable right? Or is it something foreign, an
other that constitutes subjectivity, a challenge to our notion of
autonomy? To Basterra, the subjectivity we call free embodies a
relationship with an irreducible otherness that at once exceeds it
and animates its core. Tracing Kant's concept of freedom from the
Critique of Pure Reason to his practical works, Basterra elaborates
his most revolutionary insights by setting them in dialogue with
Levinas's Otherwise than Being. Levinas's text, she argues, offers
a deep critique of Kant that follows the impulse of his thinking to
its most promising consequences. The complex concepts of freedom,
autonomy, and subjectivity that emerge from this dialogue have the
potential to energize today's ethical and political thinking.
