Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book thematizes the mystical figure of the abyss by examining the abyss as the dialectical process of the self's reconstruction followed by its dispossession. It traces such process in Neoplatonic mysticism, German idealism, and Afro-Caribbean philosophy with the end of politicizing the mystical figure from the standpoint of coloniality. |
