The Birth to Presence

Klappentext The central problem posed in these essays, collected from over a decade of work, is how in the wake of Western ontologies to conceive the coming, the birth that characterizes being. In examining what this birth to presence might be, we should not ask what presence 'is'; rather, we should conceive presence as presence to someone, including to presence itself. Zusammenfassung The central problem posed in these essays, collected from over a decade, is how in the wake of Western ontologies to conceive the coming, the birth that characterizes being. The author discusses being and representation in relation to Hegel, Schlegel, Baudelaire, Nietzsche, Freud, and Heidegger.
