A highly original examination of topics in ancient philosophy through the lens of modern European thought.
Andrew Benjamin is Distinguished Professor of Architectural Theory at the University of Technology, Sydney and Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at Monash University Melbourne.
In Place, Commonality and Judgment: Continental Philosophy and the
Ancient Greeks, Andrew Benjamin continues his careful work at the
intersection of ontology, aesthetics, and politics... The broad
outlines of Benjamin's argument are clear, but I have scarcely done
justice to the rich complexity of this book. It is a tour de force
of patient textual analysis in Greek, German, French, and English.
Furthermore, Benjamin's book provides an alternative to two
dominant readings of Greek thought in Continental philosophy,
Derrida's and Agamben's.
