Vision's Invisibles argues that such a self-examination is necessary for the sensitization of philosophical sight, as well as for engagements with visuality in other domains. To this end, it investigates a range of challenging understandings of visuality in its relation to invisibles, as articulated in the texts of key historical thinkers-Heraclitus, Plato, and Descartes-and of twentieth-century philosophers, including Foucault, Merleau-Ponty, Nancy, Derrida, and Heidegger.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47781044945047,"sku":"9780791457344","price":3251.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780791457344.webp?v=1778050138","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/visions-invisibles-philosophical-explorations-9780791457344","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
