How far might it be suggested that love is reducible to desire and \nintentionality? It is demonstrated how Derrida (the generative “father” of \ndeconstruction) rejects the possibility of any potential relation between the \ngift and desire on the account that desire is bound to calculative repetition, \neconomical appropriation, and subject-centered interests that hinder \ndeconstruction.  Whereas Marion (a representative of the phenomenological \ntradition) demands a unique union between the gift and desire, which are both \nrepresented in his “reduction to givenness” and “erotic reduction.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is the first extensive attempt to contextualize the \nstark differences between Marion and Derrida within the phenomenological legacy \n(Husserl, Heidegger, Kant), supplies readers with in-depth accounts of the \ntopics of the gift, love, and desire, and demonstrates another means through \nwhich the appearing of phenomena might be understood, namely, according to the \ngenerosity of things.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-03-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319802435\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-27942-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 269\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481529020556,"sku":"9783319802435","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319802435_a2099699-97c8-4dbd-a54c-47c4577d5c00.jpg?v=1775681064","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319802435","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
