Blanchot, extreme contemporary

Providing an insight into one of the key figures in the development of postmodern thought, this work shows how Maurice Blanchot questions the very existence of philosophy and literature and how we may distinguish between them. The author stresses the importance of Blanchot's political writings and the relationship between writing and history that characterized his later work. He also considers the relationship between Blanchot and key figures such as Emmanual Levinas and Georges Bataille and how this impacted his work. A bibliography of his writings of the last twenty years is also included.
