It promotes a unique blend of deconstructive critique and a certain English skepticism, leading to the affirmation of a negative capability—a patience and vigilance in the face of both human folly and philosophy's own homegrown pathologies. The author argues for the extension of our sense of openness and responsibility to animal life, and indeed life in general, and not just to the human.SUNY series in contemporary continental philosophy.ViolenceMoral and ethical aspectsEthicsViolenceMoral and ethical aspects.Ethics.179.7Wood David1946-861814MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962824503321The step back4354356UNINA
