FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book formulates a new theory of subjectivity in the context of the claimed "death of the subject" in the post-modern and post-human age. The new theory is developed against the conception of the subject as a transcendental ego whose constitutive roles, recognition, and representation lead to the objectivization and totalization of the world and denial of its inner infinity and heterogeneity. Critically scrutinizing ideas from Bergson, James, Husserl, Heidegger, Derrida, Zen Buddhism, and Chinese Zhuangzi, and through an analysis of time and temporality, this book advances a number of new concepts, including "primal sensibility" and "pure experience," and proposes a porous structure of subjectivity with an ex-egological and ex-subjective zone that allows nothingness and absence to ground presence. Such a theory of subjectivity provides the basis for an understanding of thinking as imagination and self-identity as narrative presentation in the intersubjective world. Back Cover "This elegant and thoughtful book demonstrates convincingly how subjectivity and narrative self-presentation are bound up inescapably with temporal existence. Calling us to attend to forgotten, overlooked and unrecognizable aspects of our lives, and drawing illuminating comparisons between Western phenomenology and non-Western schools of thought, Guoping Zhao offers a spiritually enriching meditation on self-recognition that is urgently necessary in confused and aggressive times." - Se Author Biography Guoping Zhao is Professor and Research Fellow at Oklahoma State University, USA.

Review "Guoping Zhaos (2020) Subjectivity and Infinity: Time and Existence is a magnificent book seeking to point with words toward the ineffable mystery. … Guoping and I do differ, but reading her book has helped educate me." (Jim Garrison, Studies in Philosophy and Education, Vol. 41, 2022)"Subjectivity and Infinity (2020) is a wonderful and complex book. Ambitious in its scope and sweeping in its analysis, Zhao brings east and west together in her creative exploration of the inextricable relationship between subjectivity and temporality." (Clarence W. Joldersma, Studies in Philosophy and Education, Vol. 41, 2022) Feature Turns to the Heideggerian tradition to take on the task of a phenomenological investigation of the temporal constitution of being Pays particular attention to unrecognized experiences that constitute subjectivity Proposes a subjectivity that may lead to creative and diverse ways of living Details ISBN3030455920 Author Guoping Zhao Short Title Subjectivity and Infinity Pages 157 Language English Year 2021 ISBN-10 3030455920 ISBN-13 9783030455927 Format Paperback Subtitle Time and Existence DEWEY 126 Publisher Springer Nature Switzerland AG Edition 1st Imprint Springer Nature Switzerland AG Place of Publication Cham Country of Publication Switzerland UK Release Date 2021-05-19 Publication Date 2021-05-19 Illustrations 1 Illustrations, black and white; X, 157 p. 1 illus.
