The central contention of this dissertation is that innocence is necessarily bound to the dissolution of the subject and that the unified subject can never be innocent. It is further argued that the dissolution of the subject can only be achieved within the bounds of a universe that is itself experienced as fragmentary and characterized by constant change. As a result, innocence, in the sense that is developed here, requires a very specific relation both to the self and to the world at large. Innocence is revealed as a central topic in Friedrich Nietzsche's work, which is further developed by Nietzsche's French readers and takes on particular importance in the philosophical projects of the 1970's and 80's represented by Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault. A narrative arc is established that passes from Nietzsche through Andre Gide's 'writing of the self' to Deleuze's various discussions of 'multiplicities' in several of his main writings before culminating in the emergence of the 'ethical subject' in Foucault's late work. The 'ethical subject' is presented as a subject that resists totalization and establishes a dynamic, critical relationship to a changing social and political environment. First, however, the introduction will serve to examine the importance given to literary in relation to critical and philosophical texts as well as to present some of the basic elements that are necessary for elaborating innocence as a positive concept.
