- Summary:
- Alphonso Lingis's singular works of philosophy are not so much written as performed, and in The First Person Singular the performance is characteristically brilliant, a consummate act of philosophical reckoning. Lingis's subject here, aptly enough, is the subject itself, understood not as consciousness but as embodied, impassioned, active being.
