Editorial Reviews

Booknews
A defense of speculative philosophy in the wake of Hegel. In a number of wide-ranging, meditative essays, Desmond deals with the criticism of speculative thought in post-Hegelian thinking. He covers the interpretation of Hegelian speculation in terms of the metataxological notion of being and the concept of philosophy that Desmond has developed in two previous works, Philosophy and its others, and Desire, dialectic, and otherness. Paper edition unseen, $18.95. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR booknews.com
