Concentrating on both widely known and seldom-read texts from a variety of philosophers, writers, and critics-from Leibniz and Mendelssohn, through Kleist and Hebel, to Benjamin and Irigaray-the book analyzes the genesis and structure of interruption, a topic of growing interest to contemporary literary studies, continental philosophy, legal studies, and theological reflection.
