商品簡介
Constructing a dialogue between two contemporary thinkers who occupy quite distinct realms of discourse, O'Shea (philosophy and human development, Dublin City U.) looks first at the work of literary critic and social anthropologist Girard from perspectives of division and unity in literary space: the romantic fallacy, division and unity in cultural space: the scapegoat mechanism, and negating subjectivity and history: problems with Girardian theory. Then he turns to academic philosopher Taylor and discusses the early modern period: transposing the old cosmic order; rethinking division and unity: subjectivity, religion, and the current of life; and crisis and unity in moral space: identity and the good. The juxtaposition of views, he says, reveals very different visions of the crisis of modernity. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
