Between System and Poetics: William Desmond and Philosophy after Dialectic by Th

Description: Between System and Poetics by Thomas A.F. Kelly This is the first book-length examination of the work of an important contemporary thinker in the continental tradition, William Desmond. His thought is a new, post-modern way of articulating what he calls the between. Rooted in Plato and Augustine, and advancing through a confrontation with Hegel and Nietzsche, Desmond rejects facile scepticism and wins through to a strikingly original and powerfully searching articulation of the human. The present volume contains essays on Desmonds work both by emerging scholars and by well-established thinkers. It also contains a specially written essay on the practices of philosophy by Desmond himself. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Thomas A. F.
