This volume is four books in one: a monograph on Sarah Kofman; an exploration of the 'philosophy in-deed' group she formed with Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe; a study of ancient thought's reception in 20th-century France; and an exploration of the concept of life. It provides readings ranging across Kofman's work, including major works Nietzsche and the Philosophical Stage and Socrates: Fictions of a Philosopher. Much of this work is little-known in the Anglophone world. The book draws on a wealth of archival resources including correspondence running to hundreds of unpublished pages, as well as on Kofman's recorded interviews and the author's interviews with her contemporaries. The picture that emerges is of Kofman as an erudite yet provocative thinker. The forcefulness of her work carries us across unhelpful boundaries, starting with that between theory and philosophy. Kofman's thinking sees her engaging in myriad ways with questions of institutionality, worldhood, middleness, and life. Thus we see her vivid and thought-provoking work returning repeatedly to a learning to live at last, in ways that given her post-Holocaust trauma and death by suicide, are unexpected - yet still fully capable of speaking to us today.

The work of French writer and essayist Maurice Blanchot (1907-2003) is without doubt among the most challenging the twentieth century has to offer. Contemporary debate in literature, philosophy, and politics has yet to fully acknowledge its discreet but enduring impact. Arising from a conference that took place in Oxford in 2009, this book sets itself a simple, if daunting, task: that of measuring the impact and responding to the challenge of Blanchot’s work by addressing its engagement with the Romantic legacy, in particular (but not only) that of the Jena Romantics. Drawing upon a wide range of philosophers and poets associated directly or indirectly with German Romanticism (Kant, Fichte, Goethe, Jean Paul, Novalis, the Schlegels, Hölderlin), the authors of this volume explore how Blanchot’s fictional, critical, and fragmentary texts rewrite and rethink the Romantic demand in relation to questions of criticism and reflexivity, irony and subjectivity, narrative and genre, the sublime and the neutre, the Work and the fragment, quotation and translation. Reading Blanchot with or against key twentieth-century thinkers (Benjamin, Foucault, de Man), they also examine Romantic and post-Romantic notions of history, imagination, literary theory, melancholy, affect, love, revolution, community, and other central themes that Blanchot’s writings deploy across the century from Jean-Paul Sartre to Jean-Luc Nancy. This book contains contributions in both English and French.
