Abstract: "Ethics and Representation provides a critique and overview of contemporary post-structuralist theory. Exploring the Kantian and phenomenological background of Derride, Deleuze, Foucault and Irigaray, this book raises some key questions and issues in critical theory. Is it still possible to sustain a transcendental critical project? How do such projects fare in the current terrain of cultural studies and anti-representationalism?"--Jacket.
Contents: Introduction -- Kant and enlightenment recognition -- Heidegger: proximity and dispersion -- Derrida: responsibility without autonomy -- Irigaray: the specula(ra)tive ec(h)onomy -- Foucault: anti-representationalism and logophobia -- Conclusion: the risk of anthropomorphism.
