It discusses both human nature and the phenomenon of exile with depth and exactness from the combined perspectives of philosophy, morality, politics, anthropology, and history. After retracing the lessons learned through diverse experiences of exile from antiquity to modern times, it uses poetry as metatestimony to examine exile, subjectivity, and the many moral and political implications involved. The result is a series of thoughtprovoking connections between exile and the way we assume our lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Map for the Road    1 Words, Words, Words   1“Our Bones are Dried Up”—“Build Houses and Dwell in Them”   2“I Am a Foreigner in Every Land”—“In Every Land I Am at Home”   3Demands from Different Directions   4Reasons For and Against Certain Cosmopolitanisms    2 Testimonies and Metatestimonies   1Testimonies of Injustice   2The Difficult and Infuriating Art of Self-Interruption   3Metatestimonies    3 Exile as Loss   1There is a Time to Be Involved and a Time to Step Away    4 Exile as Resistance   1There is a Time to Resist and a Time to Break with the Situation Being Resisted as Well as with Resistance Itself    5 Exile as a New Beginning    6 Words Say, Words Resonate   1Arrogant Reasoning   2Comparisons, Metaphors, Analogies, Abstractions, Perspectives… On the Varying Resonations of Some Uses of Words Like “Exile,” “Loss,” “Resistance” and “New Beginning,”    3An Usher for Loss    7 Nomadic Cultures and Personhood   1Cultural Storerooms   2Two Types of Practical Norms   3The Dilemma of Personhood   4Capacity for Judgment  Clarification  Bibliography  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210763002199,"sku":"9789004385146","price":59.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/lessons-in-exile-9789004385146","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
