Philosophically stringent, it expresses a more optimistic attitude than much modern philosophy, especially deconstruction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWaldenfels passes the question of order through numerous defining aspects, and concludes that there is not one global order, but rather various conflicting domains of order. Whenever the boundary of a vital or experiential domain is crossed, a discourse speaks \u003ci\u003eat\u003c\/i\u003e the boundary, not \u003ci\u003eabout\u003c\/i\u003e it, and across a threshold without abolishing it. The rest is rationalization, i.e., an attempt to find a place in the respective order for what is to-be-ordered. But why, the author concludes, should a theory be more unambiguous than reality?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOrder in the Twilight\u003c\/i\u003e is an important book at this time, because it may help lift the humanities out of the skeptical, relativistic disarray in which they have been embroiled in recent decades. Waldenfels does not attempt to dictate what reality should be; rather, he is open to any valid evidences. His book offers a solid footing to the human and social sciences as they seek to escape from deconstructive irrationalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBernhard Waldenfels\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of philosophy at the Ruhr University, in Bochum, Germany.
