Publisher Notes
Beginning with Plato and Aristotle, Philosophers Throughout History have built their theories around the problem of reconciling a fundamental distinction. This problem of difference is a classic theme in philosophy, and one that has taken especially intriguing turns in recent decades. Jeffrey A. Bell here presents a finely constructed survey of the contemporary continental philosophers, focusing on how they have dealt with the problem of difference. Although Bell's work centres around three key figures -- Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, and Deleuze -- he also considers the positions of such thinkers as Foucault, Derrida, and Rorty, who have called for an end to the traditional response to the problem of difference -- an end to the search for any ultimate foundations on which our varied and different experiences of the world might be based -- and thus, in effect, an end to traditional philosophy. Jeffrey Bell has produced a well structured and highly readable work, tracing the links between phenomenology and poststructuralism in a clear and straightforward manner. Anyone with a serious interest in these thinkers will find his book rewarding and thought-provoking.
