Abstract
The essays gathered in this volume are devoted to a critical appraisal of the work of John Sallis. That body of work - which spans over five decades, more than twenty books, and countless articles, translations, and talks - is impressive in both size and scope. It is no surprise then that these essays on Sallis' writings cover such a wide range of topics and questions. From art and the imagination, translation, language, poetry, painting, and novels to music, landscape, science, cosmology, and nature, Sallis has addressed a remarkable number of themes and demonstrated the importance of each for philosophical questioning. Similarly, Sallis' work has addressed an equally remarkable number of philosophical figures and texts. His work on ancient Greek thought has been ground-breaking: Being and Logos changed how Plato was read and, lest we thought Plato was settled, Chorology opened the Timaeus in radically new ways. Likewise, Sallis' writings on German philosophy have defined pivotal discussions of our time and, of course, the same must be said of Sallis' engagement with Derrida and French thought.
