Total History, Anti-History, and the Face that is Other motions towards a metaphysics of the body that is identically groundless-ground, wherein the delineation of the body, in propinquity, contradiction, and separation-as the body of a point of departure-assumes the possibility of a duplicity of existences and time(s) that are at once itself (the Same) and its interruption (the Other and/or Infinity). In its provocative reading of Hegel's philosophy of history and Levinas' "face to face" encounter, Hackenberg y Almansa's Total History, Anti-History, and the Face that is Other explores vital questions of history and ethics-offering us a possibility for a metaphysics of the body in the plural.
