Reviews
Simple things. Bare objects still new or already worn out. Objects unscathed or consumed and so slated for insignificance and destruction. But is this really the fate of things today or is there instead another way of looking at them, one able to salvage things somehow from such an anonymous and listless end? This is the piercing and original question that Remo Bodei poses in The Life of Things, The Love of Things. -- -Roberto Esposito * La repubblica * Bodei's philosophical expertise is obvious, but he surpasses by far the level of most phenomenologies of things thanks to his refined sensibility with regard to the vital, ethical, economic, aesthetic, and religious aspects of various types of things. -- -Adriaan T. Peperzak * Loyola University, Chicago *
