Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"David Kleinberg-Levin is nothing if not a thinker who has always tried to save philosophy from itself. Gestures of Ethical Life is a book of careful close readings, lucid articulations of concepts, and critical counterstatements. In the bargain it is beautifully written-a rare achievement even in the best of times, whenever they might have been." -- Gerald L. Bruns * Continental Philosophy Review * "This is a book for our troubled times. It speaks to the most pressing current dilemmas . . . [Kleinberg-Levin], in an utterly engaging way, takes us on a fascinating voyage that includes the testimony of British laborers, the thinking of venture capitalists, the life of the bourgeosie, and ancient as well as contemporary theorists. The book ranges across virtually the entirety of dilemmas into which contemporary existence has plunged us-always with insight, inspiration, wit, and a sense of hope. This is an extraordinary work, original in its vision and deep in its resources. It is a premier work in continental philosophy, at the cutting edge of this ever-expanding field of work. It is, in short, a genuine tour de force." -- Edward S. Casey

Reseña del editor:

Carrying forward the problematic of measure and measurelessness that Plato, Aristotle, and Hölderlin posited at the center of their ethics and politics, this book explores ways in which, as the very condition of their freedom, our gestures bear within their most originary sense and sensibility the values, norms, ideals, and prophetic, messianic dreams of a redeemed ethical and political life.
