At a time when all borders, boundaries, margins, and limits are being—often violently—challenged, erased, or reinforced, we must rethink the concept of frontier itself. But is there even such a concept? Through an original and imaginative reading of Kant, Geoffrey Bennington casts doubt upon the conceptual coherence of borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frontier is the very element of Kant’s thought yet the permanent frustration of his conceptuality. Bennington brings out the frontier’s complex, abyssal, fractal structure that leaves a residue of violence in every frontier and complicates Kant’s most rational arguments in the direction of cosmopolitanism and perpetual peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeither a critique of Kant nor a return to Kant, this book proposes a new reflection on philosophical reading, for which thinking the frontier is both essential and a recurrent, fruitful, interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081158312176,"sku":"9780823275991","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780823275991_p0.jpg?v=1769910970","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780823275991","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
