Juxtaposing the views of such philosophers as Plato, Heidegger, Walter Benjamin, Gadamer, and Derrida on art, poetry, and non-Western cultures with the insights of those very artists, poets, and cultures interpreted by them, Alejandro A. Vallega elucidates a certain sensibility fundamental to philosophical thought once it has come face-to-face with its concrete finitude-in the sense that philosophical ideas are always exposed to interpretation, transformation, and loss. By addressing philosophy's exposure to experience beyond its own delimitations, Vallega shows how such investigations can enrich the philosophical enterprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alejandro Vallega\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438425104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438425108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\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 0.80d","brand":"Alejandro Vallega","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48449594196223,"sku":"9781438425108","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ed241d4-8a5c-40b2-a389-944fd01f86c9.jpg?v=1777264082","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sense-and-finitude-alejandro-vallega-9781438425108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
