Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the complexities of community, the book delves into whether a truly communal existence can exist without compromising individual identity. Blanchot argues that avowing membership contradicts the essence of an ideal community. Through historical examples, particularly George Bataille's concept of "negative community," and the fiction of Marguerite Duras, he examines the challenges of language and belonging. This work is a significant contribution to philosophical discourse, prompting readers to engage with profound questions about community and politics without expecting definitive answers.
