Biography
Miguel de Beistegui is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Warwick, UK.
"This is a rich, thoughtful, and provocative book. It is at once learned and philosophically ambitious, presenting and defending a post-metaphysical aesthetic that aims to refigure our relation to the earth. A great deal is at stake in these discussions, much more than what we might term a ‘contribution to contemporary debates.’ The true stakes of this work are no less than the basic, even originary character of human dwelling." John Lysaker, Emory University, USA
