Andrew Benjamin 
Virtue in Being [EPUB ebook] 
Towards an Ethics of the Unconditioned

In his last book,
Towards a Relational Ontology, Andrew Benjamin provided a philosophical account of what he terms
anoriginal relationality, demonstrating how this concept can be seen to be at work throughout the history of philosophy. In
Virtue in Being, he builds on that project to argue for a new way of understanding the relationship between ontology and ethics through insightful readings of texts by Immanuel Kant, Hannah Arendt, and Jacques Derrida. Structuring the book around the themes of violence, evil, and pardon, Benjamin builds a convincing case for the connections he draws between thinkers not commonly associated with one another.
