Biographical note
Thomas A. F. Kelly is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy of the National University of Ireland, Maynooth. He is a native of Dublin and was educated at University College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin and the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, from which he holds a doctorate, summa cum laude. His research interests include ontology, philosophical theology and anthropology.’Readers interested in Desmond's work will find many of the essays in Between System and Poetics helpful in terms of how they explore the primary themes of Desmond's thought within a variety of contexts... offers to readers a wealth of philosophical treasures, all unified under Desmond's novel vision 'metaxological metaphysics'.’ Ethical Perspectives
This is the first book-length examination of the work of an important contemporary thinker in the continental tradition, William Desmond. His thought is a new, post-modern way of articulating what he calls the ’between’. Rooted in Plato and Augustine, and advancing through a confrontation with Hegel and Nietzsche, Desmond rejects facile scepticism and wins through to a strikingly original and powerfully searching articulation of the human. The present volume contains essays on Desmond’s work both by emerging scholars and by well-established thinkers. It also contains a specially written essay on the practices of philosophy by Desmond himself.
