Beyond subjectivity and representation

Drawing on the writings of Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty in her criticisms of dualism, Mullen (philosophy and religious studies, Christopher Newport U., Newport News, VA) aims to develop a non-ontotheological notion of truth and value rooted in the body. Metamorphosis serves as the metaphor enabling this thinking beyond the "divided line" of being and becoming. Appends commentaries on Nietzsche vs. Socrates, and the mirror-play of flesh and text.
