This essay highlights the relevance of the centrality of imagination in the work of John Sallis. It argues that the imaginative phenomenological engagement with things we find in Sallis’ work offers an account of being in the world that is both one of belonging and of excessiveness. The essay draws attention to the innovative character of Sallis’ account of belonging by way of contrast with Immanuel Kant, for whom self-originating desire precludes the possibility of genuinely belonging
