Schroeder examines the link between subjectivity and violence. Through an exposition of Levinas' thought he seeks to move away from traditional theories of the self towards an inter-subjectivity in a postmodern context.
One of the most pressing concerns for contemporary society is the issue of violence and the factors that promote it. In Altared Ground: Levinas, History and Violence Brian Schroeder stages an engagement between Emmanuel Levinas, one of the leading figures in 20th century Continental philosophy, and Plato, Hegel, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida and others in the history of ideas. Not merely an exposition of Levinas'' original and complex thinking, Brian Schroeder seeks to re-read the history of Western philosophy and religion by going beyond Levinas'' alternatives to traditional theories of the self in order to suggest a notion of subjectivity that is not grounded in violence.
