Description for Truth and Singularity: Taking Foucault into Phenomenology (Phaenomenologica)
Paperback. Contains essays that aim to disentangle us from the opposition between universalism and relativism in which so many of the debates in philosophy have found themselves caught. This volume shows, what is in fact returning in these discussions and manoeuvring them into a pre-set course is the very ambiguity 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. Dimension: 234 x 159 x 23.

Reviews for Truth and Singularity: Taking Foucault into Phenomenology (Phaenomenologica)
"Truth and Singularity is an outstanding philosophical exercise into the ethics of intersubjectivity that is conducted in a "baroque fashion" (p.20) Visker's manifold interpretations are thought provoking and prone to generate further excursions into ontology and ethics." (The Review of Metaphysics, November 2002)
