The Textual Sublime by Hugh J Silverman

The Textual Sublime by Hugh J Silverman

The Textual Sublime is particularly concerned with how a text (philosophical or literary) sets its own limits, borders, and margins, how it delimits what constitutes the text per se and how it invokes at the same time what is not determinately in the text. The textual sublime is that aspect of a text that deconstruction shows to be both an element of the text and what surpasses the text, what takes it outside itself (in view of alternatives and alterities) and what ties it to differing philosophical, rhetorical, historical, and critical practices.

Hugh J. Silverman is Professor of Philosophy and Comparative Literature at the State University of New York, Stony Brook. He is co-editor of Hermeneutics and Deconstruction and Postmodernism and Continental Philosophy, both published by SUNY Press. Gary E. Aylesworth is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, Illinois.
