Abstract

How do ideas of the transcendental in recent European philosophy provide alternatives to the modern cult of identity? How does transcendental communication exploit flaws and fractures in identity to reveal more valuable forms of community than those formed from the cult of the image and around the norms of the label, group, category and price tag?
