A new and compelling voice in philosophy. Garrido develops a profoundly interesting and compelling investigation of the senses of being and temporality. In doing so, he moves beyond philosophies that emphasize traditional ontology and their correlative concept of time. -- -Alejandro Vallega University of Oregon Garrido makes a real, and highly significant intervention in the ways we commonly think about the phenomenon of life. -- -Rodolphe Gasche University at Buffalo, The State University of New York Juan Manuel Garrido renews in an impressive way the question concerning 'life.' By the term 'life' we usually mean a sort of immediacy, a self-presence through auto-affection and transmission through self-perpetuation. Garrido, however, opens life -- simply, if I may say so -- to the infinity of a 'being-towards' and a 'hunger': this infinity is not the indefinition of a life that simply 'continues,' but the elevation of life - or its hollowing out, which is the same thing - to being-out-of-itself. This is, in one word, a philosophical revolution. -- -Jean-Luc Nancy
