商品簡介
Haynes (philosophy and ethics, Liverpool Hope U.) presents a study of materialism in continental philosophy that focuses on the attempt by several philosophers to deal with materiality in terms of transcendence immanence. She considers the work of Gilles Delueze and Spinoza as philosophers of pure immanence, Luce Irigaray's "sensible transcendental," and the negative dialectics of Theodor Adorno, among others. Organization is in three parts that consider non-dialectical approaches (Deleuze), dialectical ones (Irigaray and Adorno), and in the end what she designates "theological materialism." These first two sections aim to clarify these philosophers' sometimes difficult to understand but, in her estimation, vitally relevant perspectives on materiality. Her turn to theology is offered as a coda that she didn't even expect to write in when she started the book, which argues for divine transcendence as route to a non-reductive materialism.
