Books by Alexander Garcia Duttmann

The philosophy of Adorno and Heidegger is reconstructed through an analysis of Auschwitz and Germanien, where Auschwitz is an historical event and Germanien a name inscribed in an historical mission on which the fate of Western civilization depends.

Through an analysis of the works of Italian filmmaker Luchino Visconti, Garcia Duttmann explores the insight that it is never the real but always the possible that blocks the path to change.

What does it mean to oppose AIDS, to be at odds with AIDS?... The author confronts these questions from a broad philosophical background that ranges from Kant, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, and Heidegger to contemporary thought concerning gay activism and AIDS research.
