The Delay of the Heart

David Appelbaum

Description

The final installment in Appelbaum's three-volume exploration of the "intervening subject"—volumes one and two are The Stop and Disruption, also published by SUNY Press—The Delay of the Heart explores themes of responsibility and initiation and offers an "initiatory ethics." It intimates a secret of delay that is behind all traditional teachings and suggests ways that a sensitivity to a sacred obligation emerges from the heart of human experience.
