[PU: Cambridge University Press], 267 pp. 8°. Softcover. Well preserved. - The possibility of literary theory has been repeatedly put at risk by the apparently simple question `What is a literary text?` Throughout the twentieth century the epistemological status of literature, the problem of language`s claim to true representation, has challenged our received notions of ontology and being. Thus the question `What is literature?` has frequently sponsored highly philosophical interrogations of our inherited ways of comprehending the external world. In Singularities, Thomas Pepper addresses the relationship between textuality, value, and critical difficulty. In a rich sequence of nuanced close readings of especially demanding philosophical and literary texts, Singularities addresses key moments in Adorno, Blanchot, de Man, Derrida, Foucault, Althusser, Levinas and Celan. By offering a critique of the very process of thematic reading, this book addresses the whole question of truth and being, language and value, in a series of readings of sustained critical power., DE, [SC: 3.20], gewerbliches Angebot, [GW: 1000g], Banküberweisung, PayPal, Internationaler Versand<
