Description

Testing the Limit examines how phenomenology itself functions as an exploration of excess and the boundaries of philosophical discourse. This scholarly work investigates fundamental questions about the nature of selfhood and its origins within textual and philosophical frameworks that challenge conventional phenomenological thinking. Published by Stanford University Press, the book presents the first comprehensive triangulation of Michel Henry with Derrida and Levinas, offering fresh perspectives on these influential continental philosophers. It also provides the first sustained critique of Levinas based on his engagement with both philosophy and religion, making it an essential text for scholars studying phenomenology, deconstruction, and contemporary continental philosophy. The work addresses how the self is constituted through practices that transgress or operate at the threshold of phenomenological discourse, contributing significantly to ongoing debates about the limits and possibilities of philosophical inquiry.

Key Features

Testing the Limit includes Michel Henry alongside Derrida and Levinas in a triangulated philosophical analysis not previously attempted in scholarly literature.

The book critiques Levinas on the basis of his interpolation of philosophy and religion, offering new interpretative frameworks.

Explores the nature of excess relative to phenomenology and how phenomenological discourse itself constitutes a philosophy of transgression.

Published by Stanford University Press as part of the Cultural Memory in the Present series for advanced philosophical scholarship.

Addresses foundational questions about selfhood and how the self emerges from textual and philosophical practices operating at phenomenological thresholds.
