Product Description
Review
'Very Little ... Almost Nothing manages, with some aplomb, to pull off the extraordinarily difficult task of saying something new and interesting about Beckett and Blanchot.' - New Formations
'Simon Critchley's readings of Schlegel, Blanchot and Beckett are remarkably nuanced and perceptive. Much more than an excellent companion to the study of the intertwinings of philosophy and literature, it is an admirable meditation on the ubiquity of finitude and its ungraspability.' - Jacques Taminiaux, Boston College
'Altogether beautifully written, with rich and deep insights. It is the most original and enlightening book I know about the so-called nihilism of present times and its genealogy and a key book for the understanding of the contemporary condition of man.' - Michel Haar, Université de Paris
'This is very brave book ... it makes philosophical conversation possible again after two decades of pragmatist intolerance.' - Roger Poole, Parallax
'T(his) book is an often beautifully written philosophical act of mourning ... It also commands respect because it obliges one to examine the fictions one employs to avoid really doing philosophy. Critchley's steadfastly post-Kantian rejection of theological answers to the questions he asks is very welcome.' - Andrew Bowie, Radical Philosophy
'Critchley keeps his writings for the most part powerful and elegant, wide-ranging but well-focused. The book is at all times sibylline, moving, insightful, explorative.' - Colin Davis, French Studies
'A wonderfully lucid and readable account.' - Leslie Hill, University of Warwick
Product Description
