Trakl, a guilt-ridden lyricist who died of a cocaine overdose in the early days of World War I, thus became for Heidegger a redemptive successor to Hölderlin. Drawing on Derrida's \u003ci\u003eGeschlecht\u003c\/i\u003e series and substantial archival research, \u003ci\u003eDialogue on the Threshold\u003c\/i\u003e explores the productive and problematic tensions that pervade Heidegger's reading of Trakl and reflects more broadly on the thresholds that separate philosophy from poetry, gathering from dispersion, the same from the other, and the native from the foreigner. Ian Alexander Moore examines why Heidegger was reluctant to follow Trakl's invitation to cross these thresholds, even though his encounter with the poet did compel him to take up, in astounding ways, many underrepresented topics in his philosophical corpus such as sexual difference, pain, animality, and Christianity. A contribution not just to Heidegger and Trakl studies but also, more modestly, to the old quarrel between philosophy and poetry, \u003ci\u003eDialogue on the Threshold\u003c\/i\u003e concludes with new translations of eighteen poems by Trakl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54410230595928,"sku":"9781438490670","price":90.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781438490670.jpg?v=1778656555","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/dialogue-on-the-threshold","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
