- Summary:
- In modernism, conceptions of existence are bound up with a centered, observing subject. Global crises such as war and environmental degradation are rooted in metaphysical centricity. Pheby draws upon Heidegger, Derrida, and Foucault to rethink philosophical discourse without a foundation in a centered subject. An important book linking the poststructural critique of the self to social transformation.
