Philosophy of Finitude
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-05936-8 (ISBN)
An experience of the unthinkable is possible in our encounter with the uniqueness of death, the singularity of being, and of the self and the other. This 'thinking of finitude' also has political implications, as it provides us with a way to talk about, and evaluate, absolute strangeness and, by implication, the absolute stranger or foreigner.
Illuminating Heidegger’s writings on the question of ontology, ethics and history, Winkler proves that this encounter with thought's limits is one of the mainstays of the philosophies of difference of Heidegger, Levinas, and Nietzsche.
Rafael Winkler is Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa.
