The fascination with death in contemporary French thoughta longing for the abyss /[electronic resource] :by Betty Rojtman. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2020. - x, 145 p. :digital ;22 cm

1. Introduction -- 2. Human Death -- 3. A Pernicious Joy -- 4. An Absolute Renunciation -- 5. The Desire for Indifference -- 6. Beyond Ate -- 7. The Fluidity of Being -- 8. Conclusion.

This book analyses a cultural phenomenon that goes to the very roots of Western civilization: the centrality of death in our sense of human existence. It does so through a close reading of seminal works by the most creative authors of modern French thought, such as Maurice Blanchot, Jacques Lacan, and Jacques Derrida. These works encode an entire ethics of postmodernism. Betty Rojtman offers the reader a prism through which to see anew the key issues of the twentieth century: tragedy, finitude, nothingness-but also contestation, liberty, and sovereignty. Little by little we understand that this fascination with death may be just the other side of humankind's great protest, its thirst for the infinite and its desire to be. Finally, Rojtman tries to offer another view on these fundamental questions by shifting to a parallel cultural reference: Kabbalah.
