Framing the reception of German Jewish thinking in the second half of the twentieth century as a parallel story to the rise of the modern humanities, \u003ci\u003eHomo Temporalis\u003c\/i\u003e also highlights how these foundational temporal concepts illuminate the causes of the present crisis in the humanities and its disciplinary limitations in the age of biopolitics and the Anthropocene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Nitzan Lebovic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54936620728700,"sku":"9781501779589","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781501779589.jpg?v=1739269188","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/homo-temporalis-2","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
