Описание: This book argues that all truths systems include paradoxes. Paradoxes, such as found in the sciences, philosophy and religion offer themselves as mutually shared partners in a dialogue of arguably incommensurable truths on the basis of their underlying truth. Paradoxes leap beyond the epistemic border of individual truth claims. A dialogue of truths, grounded in paradox, reaches before, and at the same time past singular truths. A paradox-based dialogue of truths elevates the communication of disciplines, such as the sciences and religion, to a meta-discourse level from which differences are not perceived as obstacles for dialogue but as complementary aspects of a deeper and fuller truth in which all truths are grounded.
Impossible Modernism reads the writings of German philosopher and critic Walter Benjamin (1892–1940) and Anglo-American poet and critic T. S. Eliot (1888–1965) to examine the relationship between literary and historical form during the modernist period. It focuses particularly on how they both resisted the forms of narration established by nineteenth-century academic historians and turned instead to traditional literary devices—lyric, satire, anecdote, and allegory—to reimagine the forms that historical representation might take. Tracing the fraught relationship between poetry and history back to Aristotle's Poetics and forward to Nietzsche's Untimely Meditations, Robert S. Lehman establishes the coordinates of the intellectual-historical problem that Eliot and Benjamin inherited and offers an analysis of how they grappled with this legacy in their major works.
Philosophy ultimately searches for what lies beyond the possible. This question is what makes us human. We ask about the limits of language, the framing of the world, and how by breaking with what always already is we invite a madness that makes further understanding impossible.
This is a call to withstand the normalcy that presents itself as continual variations of the 'new'. To face the illusions that clutter reality and to engage in asking the final question that is left for us to answer, to un-answer, to suffer again and again. The question of the necessity of the impossible.

Описание: This book presents the relationbetween the subject and the other in the work of Jacques Derrida as one of‘surviving translating’. It demonstratesthe key role of translation in thinking difference rather than identity,beginning with the work of Martin Heidegger and Emmanuel Levinas. It describes how translation, and its ethicaldemands, acts as a leitmotif throughout Derrida’s writing; from his early work on Edmund Husserl to his lasttexts on politics and hospitality. While for both Heidegger and Levinastranslation is always possible, Derrida’s account is marked by the challenge ofimpossibility. Expanding translation beyond a merely linguisticoperation, Foran explores Derrida’s accounts of mourning, death and ‘survival’to offer a new perspective on the ethics of subjectivity.
