Table of ContentsReviewsAfter the death of Paul Ricoeur, Bernhard Waldenfels can justifiably be regarded as the most original living phenomenologist. For decades a nonconformist among German philosophers, Waldenfels has seen his favorite topics, the body and the Other, become focuses of mainstream philosophical discussion. - Elmar Holenstein, Professor Emeritus, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Zurich Bernhard Waldenfels is the most important systematic thinker of otherness in the phenomenological tradition. These stimulating lectures, delivered at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, discuss the horror of the alien and analyze its occurrence in terms of a preconceptual pathos that elicits a response on the part of the human subject. Just as this deep affectivity precedes linguistic description, so the Other occasioning it bears a surplus that lies beyond whatever is said about it. Readers will find in these lively lectures an original and illuminating understanding of otherness as it enters into their everyday lives. - Edward S. Casey, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Stony Brook University, State University of New York Author InformationBernhard Waldenfels, born in 1934, studied philosophy, psychology, classical philology, and history in Bonn, Innsbruck, and Munich.
