By linking his work to later prominent figures of 20th-century French philosophy, such as Emmanuel Levinas, Simone Weil, and Jacques Derrida, Hart emphasizes the significance of Jewish philosophy and political thought to his overall conception of literature. Chapters on community and negation reveal Blanchot's emphasis on the relationship between narrative and politics, surpassing the more commonly connected narrative and aesthetics. By fully discussing Blanchot's elusive concept of \"the Outside\" for the first time, this book advances scholarly understandings of his entire oeuvre further. This central concept engages Franz Rosenzweig's work on Abrahamic faiths, enabling a reckoning on the role of suffering and literature in the wake of the Shoah, with significant implications for Jewish studies more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350349056\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professor Kevin Hart","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44257592574202,"sku":"9781350349056","price":96.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1685113058645_book.jpg?v=1685282172","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/maurice-blanchot-on-poetry-and-narrative-ethics-of-the-image-9781350349056","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
