A knowledge without truth” aims at identifying the philosophical implications of the epoché as it relates to literature. It principally argues that, far from being limited to the negative gesture of suspending meaning, the epoché, as it occurs through literary language, makes possible a description of consciousness which does not have at its source a transcendental ego. This then implies addressing in a new way issues related to the reduction and knowledge. Hence, rather than thinking about the relationship of Blanchot's work to phenomenology in negative terms, this article argues that Blanchot's work constitutes a deepening of the phenomenological project.
