This highly original collection of essays contributes to a critique
of the common understanding of modernity as an enlightened project
that provides rational grounds for orientation in all aspects and
dimensions of the world. An international team of contributors
contend that the modern principles of foundation show in themselves
rather how modernity is disorienting itself. The book brings
together discussions on the writings of philosophers who treat more
systematically the questions of foundation and orientation, such as
Kant, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, Pascal, and Patocka, and
studies of literary works that explicitly thematize this question,
such as Novalis, Hoelderlin, Beckett, Platonov, and Benjamin. This
multi-disciplinary approach brings to the fore the paradox that
modern figures of grounding and orientation unground and disorient
and demonstrates a critical path to review current understandings
of modernity and post-modernity.
