Ego and the Flesh - An Introduction to Egoanalysis

Zusatztext "Perhaps the major presumption of 20th-century thought was that the subject! particularly the Cartesian ego! had to be subjected to 'egicide.' It is precisely this ego that Rogozinski sets out to defend in this fascinating book. What is suggestively introduced here is the concept of egoanalysis that is not based on some disembodied self! but on what Rogozinski calls 'the ego-flesh.'" Informationen zum Autor Jacob Rogozinski is Professor of Philosophy and Metaphysics at the Marc-Bloch University, Strasbourg. He is the author of Le don de la loi: Kant et l'énigme de l'éthique (1999) and Faire part: cryptes de Derrida (2005). Klappentext This book criticizes theories, dominant today, that reduce the self to a simple illusion, proposing a new theory of the ego that allows us to better understand our existence and our relations with others.
