Extending across the disciplines from philosophy to theology, Judaica, law, social and political theory, literary criticism, feminism and architecture, this book stakes itself on a renewed potential for sustained \u003ci\u003ecritique\u003c\/i\u003e. Against the grain of much contemporary thought, this work of criticism offers the reader a way beyond the spurious alternatives of \"totalization\" or acknowledgement of the \"other\". \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Broken Middle\u003c\/i\u003e expounds the phenomenology of the diremption of law and ethics. By reconstructing the suppressed political history of modernity, it shows that contemporary thought belongs to a tradition which has become ancient. Following this drama in the configuration of anxiety of beginning, equivocation of the ethical, and agon of authorship, the logos opens out of the pathos of the concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eGillian Rose\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eDialectic of Nihilism: Post-Structuralism and Law, Hegel Contra Sociology\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Melancholy Science: An Introduction to the Thought of Theodor W.
