Reading Blindly

Meer over het boek

The book explores the concept of an ethics of reading, emphasizing that reading transcends traditional interpretations and rules. It presents reading as an event of encountering an undetermined other, rather than a deciphering act that imposes the reader's framework onto the text. This perspective redefines reading as a relational experience that prioritizes openness and ethical engagement, positioning it as an unconditional relationship devoid of fixed identities or determinations. Ultimately, it argues for reading as the quintessential ethical relation.
