Description
Summary:This book is an extended inquiry into the dimension of exteriority constructed by philosophical systems and literary works, both as a condition of their possibility and as an expendable scaffolding. Literature has, since its inception, depended on a rogue's gallery of outsiders--the more outlandish the better, with human attributes optional--as the impetus to its events and the motive for its developments. Philosophers over the same time span have vacillated between safeguarding the immanent purity and consistency of their systematic projects and embracing the contamination ensuing from alien and intransigent elements.
