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","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406130061655,"sku":"9780823239368","price":21.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780823239368.jpg?v=1730494632","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/on-time-being-and-hunger-9780823239368","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
