Routledge Contest of Faculties: Philosophy and Theory Vol 9

Explore the deep connection between literary theory and philosophical questions of truth, meaning, and reference in this Routledge Revival edition. Originally published in 1985, this volume examines how deconstruction brings a vigilant awareness to the figural and narrative tropes found within the discourse of philosophic reason. This work argues that argumentative rigour remains inseparable from the close reading methods used in advanced or speculative literary theory. By examining this contest of faculties, the text offers significant insights for philosophers and critics alike. It serves as a vital resource for those studying the impact of deconstruction on modern thought and the way we interpret text and reason.
