Beschreibungen
<p><i>Ethicality and Imagination</i> is the astounding conclusion to John Sallis's landmark trilogy launched with <i>Force of Imagination </i>and<i> Logic of Imagination. </i>In this new work,<i> </i>Sallis embarks on an unforgettable voyage spanning the cosmos and delving deep into what makes us human. If the first two works consider the question of being and thinking, respectively, the third and culminating volume takes up the question of action. In a series of highly original and always provocative meditations, Sallis articulates the way humans are rooted in their abodes yet not determined by them. </p>
<p><i>Ethicality and Imagination</i> develops a new approach to the relation of the imagination to literature, ethics, political thought, and recent discoveries in astrophysics. It represents a brilliant conclusion to one of the most exciting works of thinking in the Continental school in recent decades.</p>

<p>John Sallis is Frederick J. Adelmann Professor of Philosophy at Boston College. He is author of more than 20 books, including <i>Light Traces</i> (IUP, 2014),<i> The Figure of Nature </i>(IUP, 2016), and<i> Songs of Nature </i>(IUP, 2020).</p>
<p>With a reservation we have come to recognize as one of his characteristics, John Sallis opens this book under the sign of ventriloquism, as if to underline the many voices echoing through his discourse and the variety of references it weaves together, from archaic poetry to modern cosmology. And yet, paradoxically, in this potent meditation on the human condition Sallis speaks in a voice that is more than ever unmistakably his own—free, searching, originally suggestive. In this voice, he addresses the elusive question of ethos, symphonically unfolded as a matter of custom, of character, and above all of dwelling: between heaven and earth, in invisible and all-receptive space, amid things showing themselves as well as political strains, in the unexhausted disclosiveness of imagination.</p>
