The Ethics of Time : A Phenomenology and Hermeneutics of Change Paperback / softback
by John Panteleimon (College of the Holy Cross, USA) Manoussakis
Part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Continental Philosophy series
Paperback / softback
Description
The Ethics of Time utilizes the resources of phenomenology and hermeneutics to explore this under-charted field of philosophical inquiry.
Its rigorous analyses of such phenomena as waiting, memory, and the body are carried out phenomenologically, as it engages in a hermeneutical reading of such classical texts as Augustine’s Confessions and Sophocles’s Oedipus Rex, among others.
The Ethics of Time takes seriously phenomenology’s claim of a consciousness both constituting time and being constituted by time.
This claim has some important implications for the “ethical” self or, rather, for the ways in which such a self informed by time, might come to understand anew the problems of imperfection and ethical goodness.
Even though a strictly philosophical endeavour, this book engages knowledgeably and deftly with subjects across literature, theology and the arts and will be of interest to scholars throughout these disciplines.
