At once the destination for a series of fantasies and the place from which a new relationship to thought originated, \u003cem\u003eAmerica\u003c\/em\u003e incarnates a dark continent whose strangeness and singularity has driven thinkers outside of their own philosophical comfort zone—often forcing them to show anger, anxiety, or desire towards what they considered a challenge or a threat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a mapping of this complex relationship between \u003cem\u003eAmerica\u003c\/em\u003e and philosophy through a series of examples drawn from a wide range of authors, from Freud and Heidegger to Adorno, Derrida, and many others. It also examines the way American thinkers themselves have imported, used, and abused philosophical views coming from Europe, often transforming them into something other than what they were. Is then philosophy an anti-American discourse, or \u003cem\u003eAmerica\u003c\/em\u003e an anti-philosophical country? Or is it, rather, that \u003cem\u003eAmerica\u003c\/em\u003e provokes philosophy from a place where its own history affirms the impossibilities, paradoxes, and contradictions of philosophy itself?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt a time when the syntagm “\u003cem\u003eAmerica\u003c\/em\u003e” has come to crystallize a certain understanding of the world order, interrogating the place that it occupies in our intellectual tradition is also a way to engage critically with the violence attached to it. \u003cem\u003eAmerica\u003c\/em\u003e is a syntagm for violence, but this violence might very well be different than we thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000526323948,"sku":"9781509560271","price":23.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12624963482725.jpg?v=1763281650"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/avital-ronell.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
