At the forefront of the most exciting, important, original, and serious recent work both in post-foundational moral philosophy and in literary theory. This work is nicely juxtaposed... with the more skeptical essays of the postmodernist textualist. Revue Internationale de Philosophie In these impressive essays, philosophy rediscovers that it is written; literature recaptures its moral seriousness. -- Michael Fischer Philosophy and Literature
