Subjectivity as radical hospitality: recasting the self with Augustine, Descartes, Marion, and Derrida

This title presents the philosophical subject as a self-in-loss structured in continuous openness to the other-than-self: I welcome, therefore I am.

With Marion and Derrida for foil, Martis examines Cartesian-Augustinian self-based substantiality, discovering a self jointly constituted in Kantian transcendentality and phenomenological givenness.
