Other logics of understanding in contemporary philosophy : aesthetics, language and history

Synopsis

The book offers readers interested in contemporary philosophy a journey around its main aesthetic, hermeneutic, political, anthropological and historical questions. In dialogue with the classic authors of modern philosophy and that in this work we will approach from the aesthetics of Immanuel Kant and George Friedrich Hegel, we seek to create several bridges of meaning that allow us to approach the philosophical projects of the most emblematic authors that have resonated strongly today in the voices of Edmund Husserl, Michel Henry, Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, Ernst Cassirer, Maurice Merleau Ponty, Jean Paul Sartre, Hannah Arendt, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Jacques Derrida, among others.

It corresponds to this critical ontology of the present to think the human being from the sensitive and affective world that manifests itself in those narratives different from the philosophical concept. This is proposed from the methodological universe that has characterized contemporary philosophy and in which stand out the unmistakable traces of the crossing of disciplines, the situated analyses of the work of art, the hybrid narratives between philosophy and literature, the questioning of the temporality and spatiality of modern philosophy, the crumbling and disappearance of the
