Subjectivity as Radical Hospitality

Intervervening In A Lively Debate In Contemporary European Philosophy This Book Offers A Radically Revisioned Account Of The Self Subjected To Experience. Patiently Yet Vigorously Engaging Jean-Luc Marion'S Reading Of Selfhood In St Augustine Martis Reaches Back Deeply Into The Western Philosophical Tradition To Propose A Bold Solution To The Phemomenological Problem Of How A Self Can Recognise An Other While Remiaining Itself. Insights From Descartes Kant Derrida Blanchot Romano And Others Are Brought Together To Undergird An Account Of A Self That Remains Itself Only In Ceaseless Loss To Necessary Incursions Of The Other: I Welcome Therefore I Am.
