At a time when all borders, boundaries, margins, and limits are being--often violently--challenged, erased, or reinforced, we must rethink the concept of frontier itself. But is there even such a concept? Through an original and imaginative reading of Kant, Geoffrey Bennington casts doubt upon the conceptual coherence of borders. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe frontier is the very element of Kant's thought yet the permanent frustration of his conceptuality. Bennington brings out the frontier's complex, abyssal, fractal structure that leaves a residue of violence in every frontier and complicates Kant's most rational arguments in the direction of cosmopolitanism and perpetual peace. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNeither a critique of Kant nor a return to Kant, this book proposes a new reflection on philosophical reading, for which thinking the frontier is both essential and a recurrent, fruitful, interruption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoffrey Bennington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0823275981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823275984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Geoffrey Bennington","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926558933247,"sku":"9780823275984","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_588c34be-e9d6-4e20-b6b4-6fb12712747e.jpg?v=1681083741","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kant-on-the-frontier-geoffrey-bennington-9780823275984","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
