Romand Coles here explores the writings of Augustine, Foucault, and Merleau-Ponty in order to fashion an ethos that emphasizes the value of dialogical relationships between the self and others. He points up difficulties in both the individualist and communitarian readings of politics and ethics, even as it seriously explores the ethical dimensions and possibilities of postmodernist thought. 224 pages; 9.5 x 6.5 inches.
