Bücher von Gerald L. Bruns

Focuses upon the systematic interest that so many European philosophers take in modernism. In this study, the author answers that the culture of modernism is a kind of anarchist community, where the work of art is apt to be as much an event or experience - or, indeed, an alternative form of life - as a formal object.

He describes what is creative in Blanchot's readings of Heidegger's controversial works and examines Blanchot's conception of poetry as an inquiry into the limits of philosophy, rationality, and power.
