Reviews for On Time, Being, And Hunger: Challenging the Traditional Way of Thinking Life
"A new and compelling voice in philosophy. Garrido develops a profoundly interesting and compelling investigation of the senses of being and temporality. In doing so, he moves beyond philosophies that emphasize traditional ontology and their correlative concept of time."
