It proposes that we turn to Heidegger's thought in order fully to understand this crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn doing so it is necessary to retrieve those elements of his thought which are most maligned by Derridean deconstruction: the pastoral, the homely, the local. In a world coming to terms with the destructive nature of 'globalisation' and the networks of distribution and travel which lacerate the globe, we are witnessing a gradual return to the 'locally produced', the 'organic', the 'micro-generation' of energy unplugged from the national and international grid: in other words, a return to the 'near'. The necessities and problems inherent in this return, which the 'environmental movement' must address, are already to be found in Heidegger's thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLewis confronts this thought with that of Lacan, Levinas, S1\/2iS3\/4ek, and Marx in order to reinvent the element to which deconstruction usually confines it and bring it into a position from which to confront the most pressing ethical and political questions of today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Lewis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826497799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826497796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.41h x 6.38w x 0.83d","brand":"Michael Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153124241663,"sku":"9780826497796","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33d28238-8775-45fd-8a61-d3073b0c97c3.jpg?v=1770781450","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/heidegger-beyond-deconstruction-michael-lewis-9780826497796","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
