About the Book

'Thought always exaggerates' Hannah Arendt writes. The question of exaggeration becomes a philosophical question when thought endeavours to clarify the ways in which it relates to limits. If its disclosing force depends on exaggeration, so does the confusion to which it can fall prey. This book analyses concepts such as truth and trust, practices such as politics and art, experiences such as the formation of a life line and its erasure, from the viewpoint of exaggeration.

Review :
"Explores exaggeration in the senses of both excess and transgression; topics include philosophical concepts of trust and truth." - Chronicle of Higher Education, October 12, 2007 "Its strength lies in the insights it offers about philosophical questioning itself. If you are looking for a book to shake up your way of doing philosophy, it is a productive read." -Julie Kuhlken, Philosophy in Review
