Davis, Colin,

Critical excess : overreading in Derrida, Deleuze, Levinas, Žižek and Cavell - Stanford, Calif. Stanford University Press, ©2010. 2010. - 217p.

The 'ancient quarrel' between philosophy and literature seems to have been resolved once and for all with the recognition that philosophy and the arts may be allies instead of enemies. Critical Excess examines in detail the work of five thinkers who have had a huge, ongoing impact on the study of literature and film: Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Emmanuel Levinas, Slavoj Zizek, and Stanley Cavell.
