Enigmas: Essays on Sarah Kofman

Penelope Deutscher

The work of philosopher Sarah Kofman has, since her death in 1994, become a focus for many scholars interested in contemporary French philosophy. This critical collection on her thought evaluates Kofman’s most important contributions to philosophy, psychoanalytic theory, feminism and literary theory. The essays range from analyses of Kofman’s first book, L'enfance de l'art (1970), to her last, L'imposture de la beaute (1995). The volume represents the major themes in Kofman’s scholarship: literature and aesthetics; philosophy and metaphor; women, feminism and psychoanalysis; and Jews and German nationalism. Selected essays explore and diagnose Kofman’s personal struggles as they are reflected in her writing.
