David J. Gauthier is instructor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
David J. Gauthier has produced a sustained exploration of the
philosophical and political contours of homelessness and the
possibilities of dwelling and hospitality in the modern age.
Grounded in the work of Martin Heidegger and Emmanuel Levinas, this
book establishes the significance of the question of home in a
globalized world and assesses the challenges we face in maintaining
a sense of place in a technological age. Gauthier carries the
reader through a thoughtful and informed engagement with Heidegger,
Levinas, and certain commentators such as Derrida, highlighting
their insights, major differences, and often subtle but crucial
distinctions.
*Leslie Paul Thiele, niversity of Florida*
A provocative and nuanced analysis of the complex relationship
between Levinas' and Heidegger's philosophies. Professor Gauthier
thoroughly explores the often ignored but significant role of place
and homesickness in Heidegger's and Levinas' work.
