The relationships between philosophy and aesthetics and between philosophy and politics are especially pressing issues today. Those who explore these themes will applaud the publication--for the first time in English--of this important collection, one that reveals the scope and force of Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe's reflections on mimesis, subjectivity, and representation in philosophical thought. This coherent and rigorous body of work reflects the author's complex and subtle treatment of mimesis in the history of philosophy from Plato to Heidegger. It contains close critical analyses of works by Plato, Diderot, Hölderlin, Reik, Girard, and Heidegger, and moves through topics such as music, autobiography, tragedy, and the problem of historical and political self-definition. Because Lacoue-Labarthe deals with issues that cross disciplinary lines, his work will appeal to readers interested in philosophy as it relates to politics, history, and aesthetics, especially literature. By showing that the concept of mimesis is an integral part of philosophical reasoning, he provides a challenging approach to many of Heidegger's ideas, and contributes to the poststructuralist (or postmodem) attempt to rethink the notions of reference and representation. This approach challenges readers to redefine their understanding of history and politics. One of the most gifted and active of the younger French philosophers, Lacoue-Labarthe is a respected peer of Jacques Derrida, who has provided an extensive introduction to the book especially for American readers. Those who are familiar with Derrida's writings will appreciate the opportunity to see his questions approached in an entirely different style by Lacoue-Labarthe, resulting in productive new insights.… (altro)

For years I’ve been reading the works of Derrida, and some Paul de Man, but only recently I discovered Philippe Lacoue Labarthe and Jean-Luc Nancy. If you’re like me, interested in deconstruction, and still don’t know about Labarthe or Nancy (as I say, I didn’t, for many years), don’t wait anymore, go and get one or two of their books. You’ll be pleasantly surprised about what you have been missing.
This book in particular contains a selection of essays by Labarthe. I’m just finishing reading the first essay, Typography, in which Labarthe explores the question of mimesis in Heidegger’s readings of Plato and Nietzsche. Fascinating! ( )
