Sommario/riassunto |
|
Can we truly claim that metaphysics is over? Through a close reading of Levinas's masterpiece Totality and Infinity and a careful elaboration of Levinas's concept of the 'nocturnal event' that surpasses the light of understanding, Raoul Moati opens the possibility of a revival of metaphysics after the 'end of metaphysics.' |
