Sommario/riassunto

Samuel Weber's work has greatly influenced thinkers in a broad array of disciplines, his texts especially important to the deconstructive tradition, given his early recognition of the importance of Jacques Derrida. Taught by Theodor W. Adorno, he is equally at home in the



Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School, in the German literary and philosophical tradition, and in psychoanalysis. This book brings together essays by eminent scholars seeking to assess the impact of Weber's writings.
