520 1  "Beginning amidst the tombs of the 'dead' God, and the 
       crematoria at Auschwitz, this book confronts the 
       Nietzschean legacy through a Platonic focus. Plato argues 
       in the Phaedrus that writing is dangerous because it can 
       neither select its audience nor call upon its author to 
       the rescue. Yet, he transgresses this ethical imperative 
       in the Republic which has proved defenceless against use 
       and abuse in the ideological foundation of totalitarian 
       regimes. Burke goes on to analyse the dangerous games 
       which Plato and Nietzsche played with posterity. At issue 
       is how authors may protect against 'deviant readings' and 
       assess 'the risk of writing'. Burke recommends an ethic of
       'discursive containment'." "The ethical question is the 
       question of our times. Within critical theory, it has 
       focused on the act of reading. This study reverses the 
       terms of inquiry to analyse the ethical composition of the
       act of writing. What responsibility does an author bear 
       for his legacy? Do 'catastrophic' misreadings of authors 
       (e.g. Plato, Nietzsche) testify to authorial recklessness?
       These and other questions are the starting-point for a 
       theory of authorial ethics which will be further developed
       in a forthcoming book on the interanimating thought of 
       Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida." "Continuing the 
       mission of the 'returned author' begun in his pioneering 
       book The Death and Return of the Author, Burke recommends 
       the 'law of genre' as a contract drawn up between author 
       and reader to establish ethical responsibility. Criticism,
       under this contract, becomes an ethical realm and realm of
       the ethical."--Jacket.
