| Summary: | Chapter 1. Difference and Time -- Chapter 2. Interrupting/Disrupting Speculative Time -- Chapter 3. The Experience of the Limit-I -- Chapter 4. The Experience of the Limit-II -- Chapter 5. 'Tarrying with the Negative’? -- Chapter 6. Conclusion (Beyond “Closure”) -- Bibliography. This book addresses the limits of metaphysics and the question of the possibility of ethics in this context. It is divided into six chapters, the first of which broadens readers’ understanding of difference as difference with specific reference to the works of Hegel. The second chapter discusses the works of Emmanuel Lévinas and the question of the ethical. In turn, the concepts of sovereignty and the eternal return are discussed in chapters three and four, while chapter five poses the question of literature in a new way. The book concludes with chapter six. The book represents an important contribution to the field of contemporary philosophical debates on the possibility of ethics beyond all possible metaphysical and political closures. As such, it will be of interest to scholars and researchers in both the humanities and social sciences. Beyond the academic world, the book will also appeal to readers (journalists, intellectuals, social activists, etc.) for whom the question of the ethical is the decisive question of our time. |
