Description
.."". a more compelling reading of Kant than any I have ever seen."" --David Farrell Krell
In this provocative book, Alphonso Lingis argues that not only our thought is governed by an imperative, as Kant had maintained, but, rather, our sensual, sensing, perceiving, and emotional life is continually regulated by imperatives that come to us from the world around us. Through a series of phenomenological sketches drawn from life experiences, Lingis shows that there are directives in the natural world and in our interactions with others that govern our thought and behavior.
Revises Kant's account of how imperatives shape our perceptions and govern our everyday lives.
