Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Bungle Book presents a demythology of six salient concepts central to our modern self-understanding, The "suspects" of the self, the machine, and God, as well as the "senses" of home, love, and freedom are analyzed and put into conversation with the work of Gadamer, Heidegger, Lingis, and Midgely. |
