Autor Claude Lefort, David Ames Curtis

Writing involves risks - the risk of being persecuted, the risks of being made a champion for causes in which one does not believe, and the risk of inadvertently supporting a reader's prejudices. This title illuminates the process by which writers negotiate difficult path to free themselves from the ideological and contextual traps.

Recenzii

"Needless to say, Lefort's scholarship is superior; nevertheless, Writing is much more than a work of scholarship. In each of these essays, one sees a new dimension of Lefort's thought."--[RR, PP, edited] Bernard Flynn, New School for Social Research

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"Many people have become painfully aware of the detachment of a 'worldless textualism' from anything resembling political reality, a reality to be distinguished from grandiose political pronouncements. Lefort's "Writing" offers a philosophical reflection deeply embeded within the political."--Bernard Flynn, New School for Social Research
