Books by Brian Treanor

This collection of essays examines the various intersections between philosophical hermeneutics and environmental philosophy. Adopting a broad and inclusive understanding of our relation with the environment, it investigates a number of important topics for contemporary environmental thought, including the self, history, ethics, culture, and narrative.

Taking up the question of otherness that so fascinates contemporary continental philosophy, this book asks what it means for something or someone to be other than the self. It uses the philosophies of Emmanuel Levinas and Gabriel Marcel to provide the point of embarkation for understanding the two positions on this question.
