Frontier: the border between two countries; the limits of
civilization; the bounds of established knowledge; a new field of
activity. At a time when all borders, boundaries, margins, and
limits are being-often violently-challenged, erased, or reinforced,
we must rethink the concept of frontier itself. But is there even
such a concept? Through an original and imaginative reading of
Kant, Geoffrey Bennington casts doubt upon the conceptual coherence
of borders. The frontier is the very element of Kant's thought yet
the permanent frustration of his conceptuality. Bennington brings
out the frontier's complex, abyssal, fractal structure that leaves
a residue of violence in every frontier and complicates Kant's most
rational arguments in the direction of cosmopolitanism and
perpetual peace. Neither a critique of Kant nor a return to Kant,
this book proposes a new reflection on philosophical reading, for
which thinking the frontier is both essential and a recurrent,
fruitful, interruption.
