| Description: |
Unfolds a history of Western metaphysics that is also a history of the legitimation of oppression. This book brings to light the unperceived challenge, by tracing the history of the inscription of domination into the very nature of being as it is conceived by Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, Hobbes, and Locke. |
| Synopsis: |
In this stunning philosophical accomplishment, McCumber sheds important new light on the history of substance metaphysics and Heidegger's challenge to metaphysical thinking.... Well-documented, brilliant, definitely a major contribution to philosophy!" -ChoiceIn this compelling work, John McCumber unfolds a history of Western metaphysics that is also a history of the legitimation of oppression. That is, until Heidegger. But Heidegger himself did not see how his conception of metaphysics opened doors to challenge the domination encoded in structures and institutions-such as slavery, colonialism, and marriage-that in the past have given order to the Western world. |
