Natality and Finitude
2010
Overview
Philosophers are accustomed to thinking about human existence as finite
and deathbound. Anne O'Byrne focuses instead on birth as a way to make sense of
being alive. Building on the work of Heidegger, Dilthey, Arendt, and Nancy, O'Byrne
discusses how the world becomes ours and how meaning emerges from our relations to
generations past and to come. Themes such as creation, time, inheritance, birth and
action, embodiment, biological determinism, and cloning anchor this sensitive and
powerful analysis. O'Byrne's thinking advances and deepens important discussions at
the intersections of feminism, continental philosophy, philosophy of religion, and
social and political thought.
