Reviews

'Christoph Menke is the foremost critical theorist of the self-repugnance (as immanent self-critique) of judgment, aesthetics, and the law. In this volume, he turns to a literary archive for its more lucid awareness of the law's paradoxes. Rethinking Benjamin's Critique of Violence, Menke asks us to imagine the difference of a law executed in reflexive awareness (rather than disavowal) of its own violence. His leading critics explore the extension of his trenchant theses to contemporary forms of transitional justice, politics, literature, subjectivity, decision, and depotentiation.' Penelope Deutscher, Joan and Sarepta Harrison Professor of Philosophy, Northwestern University -- .
