<p><b>Offers a dialogue about the future of the nature of the human technology metaphysical foundations globalization and social and political oppression.</b></p><p>In order to create a greater dialogue between new and emerging Italian philosophy and established continental traditions of thought Silvia Benso and Antonio Calcagno bring together the work of well-known figures in Italian philosophy such as Antonio Negri Roberto Esposito Remo Bodei Gianni Vattimo Massimo Cacciari and Adriana Cavarero with important thinkers like Schelling Hegel Schmitt Heidegger Gadamer Irigaray Arendt Deleuze Guattari Derrida and Foucault. In <i>Open Borders</i> Benso and Calcagno introduce to a larger English-speaking audience the thought of highly regarded late twentieth-century Italian philosophers who seek to redefine concepts such as freedom interpretation existence woman male-female relationships realism emotions and aesthetics. The diverse contributors to this book often transgress and redefine the limits and insights of philosophy itself and bring to the fore a new body of thinking that offers new ways of self-understanding while deeply engaging the issues and questions of contemporary society.</p>
