This collection of interviews, reflections, and creative criticism presents Christopher Norris s vigorous polemics with Hayden White, Michel Foucault, Jean Baudrillard, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Thomas Kuhn, Emmanuel Levinas, Pierre Bourdieu, Richard Rorty, and Stanley Fish. Alongside Norris s uncompromising critiques there emerge passages of close and careful reading of Jacques Derrida s texts, as he cites and reiterates Derrida s philosophical contexts in the works of Immanuel Kant, Gaston Bachelard, and Georges Canguilhem, and in the current discursive fields of epistemology and philosophy of science. The book also offers a coda of essays on Frank Kermode, Terry Eagleton, and Terence Hawkes. This collection, prefaced with the author s own academic memoir, provides an accessible and provocative introduction to Norris s critical thought, and highlights the wide range of his interests and philosophical engagements.”
