Produktinformationen zu „Beyond the Limits of Language “
The book analyses a mode of apophasis in contemporary theoretical discourse. It explores the relationship between negative theology and Jacques Derrida's textual practice, as well as the similarities between apophasis and the trope of transgression in the works of Maurice Blanchot, George Bataille or Michel Foucault.
Klappentext zu „Beyond the Limits of Language “
The book explores the way in which apophatic discourse of negative theology has illuminated contemporary critical theory. It demonstrates the significance of apophasis both in Jacques Derrida's search for a «new language», responsive to singularity and alterity, and in the analyses of the experience of transgression, developed by Maurice Blanchot, George Bataille and Michel Foucault. Following Derrida's understanding of negative theology as a transgressive concept that transcends the linguistic, historical and religious contexts from which it arises, the book proves that apophasis is not merely a discourse on language restricted to one theological tradition, but should be viewed as a mode of dialogue and openness, essential to all responsible thinking.
