Biografisk notat
Hilan Bensusan is Professor of Contemporary Philosophy at the University of Brasilia. He is the author of Being Up for Grabs: On Speculative Anarcheology (Open Humanities Press, 2016). His other books are published in Portuguese: A diáspora da agência - Ensaio sobre o horizonte das monadologias (The diaspora of agency – Essay on the horizon of monadologies) (EdUFBA, 2018), Linhas de animismo futuro (Lines of future animism) (Mil Saberes, 2017), Heráclito - Exercícios de Anarqueologia (Heraclitus – Exercises in anarcheology) (Ideias e Letras, 2012) and Excessos e Exceções (Excesses and exceptions) (Ideias e Letras, 2008).
This invaluable work interrupts metaphysical speculation to show how receptivity is always grounded in hospitality. The horizon of thought is determined by that which lies beyond it. The others who remain outside resist totality, thus freeing us for infinite responsibility. Bensusan’s paradoxico-metaphysics allows us to warmly welcome the Other’s call.
- Christopher RayAlexander,
One of the most important books in metaphysics to appear in recent years. Arguing that our metaphysical, epistemological, and ultimately ethical engagements with the world must fundamentally affirm the existence of indexicals, Bensusan's position is both radically new and yet centrally situated within the most significant currents of contemporary philosophy.
