Reviews

Few recent works in continental thought exhibit the depth of analysis and attention to detail displayed here. The argument is thoughtfully articulated and quite persuasive. I particularly enjoyed the discussions with respect to exemplarity and differance, theology, and patriarchy, inasmuch as the author contends, correctly I think, that the motif of part/whole significantly informs these issues, and hence the structures of exemplarity dominate in the tradition. - Douglas L. Donkel, editor of The Theory of Difference: Readings in Contemporary Continental Thought The author offers rich and provocative readings of Rousseau. - Rebecca Comay, coeditor of Endings: Questions of Memory in Hegel and Heidegger
