Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

-It is fascinating to witness Rozenberg's agile and wide-ranging mobilization of Kant's early and otherwise neglected notion of 'incongruent counterparts' to discover, interpret, and assimilate fundamental asymmetries found in such diverse discourses as those of Kant, Freud, and Lacan, especially, as well as those of Davidson, Godel, and Tarski. By the same token, numerous topics such as logic, mathematics, the philosophy of language, Jewish thought, and Levinas' ethics of radical Otherness are illuminated. Rozenberg offers a synoptic tour of much contemporary theory.- (Richard A. Cohen, University of North Carolina at Charlotte)
-I am impressed by this method of relating the issue of the unconscious to Levinas' ethics via the notion of Otherness. This notion transverses the field of mathematics...and takes us all the way through to 'Hebraic grammar'-. (Paul Ricoeur, University of Paris 10-Nanterre and University of Chicago)"

Reseña del editor:

"From the Unconscious to Ethics" begins by examining Kant's argument of the incongruent counterparts, its effects on his theory of psychopathology, and its role in the dualism between cognizance and morality. This work also focuses on modern psychopathology, since the latter explores the theorization of those unconscious intentions and acts that lie at the base of all human interrelations. In order to show that human language and ethics possess the same formal structure, this analysis reverts to J. Lacan's theory of a psychoethical constitution, and to E. Levinas' concept of Otherness. Both human language and ethics are built upon the main characteristics of the linguistic sign of arbitrariness and freedom from natural reality. According to Lacan, the logic of speech was revealed at Mount Sinai. This was due to the prohibition against idolatry, which allowed for an alphabetic system of signs, as opposed to the Egyptian hieroglyph. This book promotes a novel transition from the unconscious to ethics and provides modern insights on a variety of topics."
