The topic of foundations has long been the focus of philosophical
debate. Critiques of the claim to absolute knowledge, to ultimate
ground, and to essential truth have called into question the very
desire and need for founding principles. The concept of foundation
has itself come under extensive scrutiny. This fifth volume of the
"Continental Philosophy" series addresses the problem of a
contemporary world devoid of foundations. It seeks to explore a
post-foundational context of subverted truths, shattered
identities, and fragmented cultures. The continental tradition of
philosophy has long focused its energies on the question of
foundations, from Kant and Hegel, Nietzsche and Kierkgaard,
Heidegger and Gadamer, Foucault and Derrida, Lyotard and Deleuze.
From this vantage point with its range of perspectives, the essays
reopen the conventional understanding of the classical themes upon
which philosophy has been based since its inception. This text is
divided into three parts - "truth", "subjectivity" and "culture".
The topics covered include considerations as diverse as science,
hermeneutics, psychoanalysis, feminism, visual representation,
poetry, and post-colonialism.
