Readers familiar with Mark C. Taylor's previous writing will
immediately recognize Altarity as a remarkable synthetic project.
This work combines the analytic depth and detail of Taylor's
earlier studies of Kierkegaard and Hegel with the philosophical and
theological scope of his highly acclaimed Erring.
In Altarity, Taylor develops a genealogy of otherness and
difference that is based on the principle of creative
juxtaposition. Rather than relying on a historical or chronological
survey of crucial moments in modern philosophical thinking, he
explores the complex question of difference through the strategies
of contrast, resonance, and design. Taylor brings together the work
of thinkers as diverse as Hegel, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Lacan,
Bataille, Kristeva, Levinas, Blanchot, Derrida, and Kierkegaard to
fashion a broad intellectual scheme.
Situated in an interdisciplinary discourse, Altarity signifies a
harnessing of continental and American habits of intellectual
thought and illustrates the singularity that emerges from such a
configuration. As such, the book functions as a mirror of our
intellectual moment and offers the academy a rigorous way of
acknowledging the limitations of its own interpretive
practices.
