Description
Maurice Blanchot and Fragmentary Writing: A Change of Epoch explores the literary, philosophical, and political significance of fragmentary writing. This in-depth analysis examines Blanchot's own writing in fragments to understand its stakes within modernity. The book reconstructs Blanchot's radical critical engagement with key thinkers such as Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Derrida, among others. It assesses his account of politics, Jewish thought, and the Shoah, providing insight into the fragmentary's role in philosophical and literary modernity. By examining Blanchot's works, including Awaiting Forgetting, The Step Not Beyond, and The Writing of the Disaster, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the fragment's significance.
