Instead, it is our exposure to the unthinkable or the impossible - to thought's own limits. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn experience of the unthinkable is possible in our encounter with the uniqueness of death, the singularity of being, and of the self and the other. This 'thinking of finitude' also has political implications, as it provides us with a way to talk about, and evaluate, absolute strangeness and, by implication, the absolute stranger or foreigner. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIlluminating Heidegger's writings on the question of ontology, ethics and history, Winkler proves that this encounter with thought's limits is one of the mainstays of the philosophies of difference of Heidegger, Levinas, and Nietzsche.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRafael Winkler\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 20, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51793276240160,"sku":"9781350150997","price":84.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/4f6fd9f23c2439e292ec4122fb8295a3.webp?v=1780717635","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/philosophy-of-finitude-heidegger-levinas-and-nietzsche-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
