For a Philosophy of Freedom and Strife

Más información sobre el libro

The book presents a radical defense of metaphysical philosophy, arguing against the postmodern dismissal of metaphysics. Figal emphasizes the importance of the relationship between opposites, termed strife, which he believes is essential for the creation of meaning and sense. He asserts that this conflict does not lead to chaos but rather emerges within the context of freedom. Through these ideas, Figal offers fresh interpretations of key philosophers, including Plato, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard, as well as significant twentieth-century thinkers.
