Gestures of Ethical Life

Carrying forward the problematic of measure and measurelessness that Plato, Aristotle, and Hoelderlin posited at the center of their ethics and politics, this book explores ways in which, as the very condition of their freedom, our gestures bear within their most originary sense and sensibility the values, norms, ideals, and prophetic, messianic dreams of a redeemed ethical and political life.
