Hardback. Features essays that disentangle us from the opposition between universalism and relativism in which so many of the debates in contemporary philosophy have been caught. This title shows that what is in fact returning in these discussions and maneuvering them into a pre-set course is the very ambiguity, 'the subject', which they seek to repress. Series: Phaenomenologica. Num Pages: 423 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HPK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate.
