Lueck builds on Immanuel Kant's fact of reason - the idea that being a moral subject presupposes one's having accepted the bindingness of obligation always already - showing that it must be rethought as the fact of sense. Staging a fruitful dialogue between the analytic and Continental philosophical traditions, while reflecting specifically on the work of Hegel, Merleau-Ponty, Serres and Nancy, Lueck offers a creative approach to the problem of obligation, bringing vital new perspectives to bear on a long-standing philosophical problem.
