How can we to understand the complex relationship that Blanchot’s work maintained with philosophy? From our point of view, in the theoretical work of Blanchot, this relationship relies on three connections: bricolage, delimitation, and friendship. Does the combination by Blanchot of these three connections with philosophy depend on a deconstruction of philosophy? We maintain that Blanchot, paradoxically, at the same time displays the gestures that are typical of the deconstructions of philosophy (Heidegger, Derrida, Levinas, Laruelle) and frees himself of these deconstructions, in childhood. Childhood of the philosophy: we indicate here that which is not subject to the answer of the philosopher-adult—without deconstructing it—: the question in silence.
