Title: BEYOND TRANSCENDENCE IN LAW AND PHILOSOPHY
Description: "Bringing an Eastern sensibility into contact with three of the most important themes in Western philosophy, Beyond Transcendence in Law and Philosophy investigates three of the twentieth century's most important philosophers - Martin Heidegger - on being, Emmanuel Levinas - on ethics, and Ludwig Wittgenstein - on language. In the context of the larger Western obsession with transcending the ordinary, Louis Wolcher argues that the yearning for transcendence is born of the illusion that there is a fundamental difference between the ordinary and the profound. Beyond Transcendence in Law and Philosophy will enlighten philosophers and legal theorists, as well as those who are interested in or open to the insights of Zen Buddhism."--Jacket.
