In addition, through the writings of Johann Peter Hegel, Heinrich von Kleist, Walter Benjamin, and Luce Irigaray, he presents intriguing examples of plot and dialog, such as perceiving a rainbow's colors or issuing an illegal police warrant. Five of the eight essays are revisions of works previously published. While they address related questions, the essays do not directly build upon one another.

References to Leibniz's monad appear at crucial points in Walter Benjamin's writings, from his early "metaphysical" work to his late "materialist" theses on history.

The destructive character. References to Leibniz's monad appear at crucial points in Walter Benjamin's writings, from his early "metaphysical" work to his late "materialist" theses on history. In each case, Benjamin appeals to the monad as the unique and total expression of his main philosophical point. He writes to Florens Christian Rang in 1923 that Leibniz's monad "in its totality seems to me to embrace the summa of a theory of ideas.

Speech act theory has taught us "how to do things with words." Arresting Language turns its attention in the opposite direction―toward the surprising things that language can undo and leave undone. In the eight essays of this volume, arresting language is seen as language at rest, words no longer in service to the project of establishing conventions or instituting legal regimes. Concentrating on both widely known and seldom-read texts from a variety of philosophers, writers, and critics―from Leibniz and Mendelssohn, through Kleist and Hebel, to Benjamin and Irigaray―the book analyzes the genesis and structure of interruption, a topic of growing interest to contemporary literary studies, continental philosophy, legal studies, and theological reflection.Beginning with an exposition of Hölderlin's rigorous account of interruption in terms of the "pure word," in which the event of representation alone appears, Arresting Language identifies critical moments in philosophical and literary texts during which language itself―without any identifiable speaker―arrests otherwise continuous processes and procedures, including the process of representation and the procedures for its legitimization. The book then investigates a series of pure words: the fatal verdict (arrêt) of divine wisdom in Leibniz, the performance of Jewish ceremonial practices in Mendelssohn, the issuing of unauthorized arrest warrants in Kleist, fraudulent acts of storytelling in Hebel, the eruption of tragic silence and the "mass strike" in Benjamin, and the recurrence of angelic intervention in Irigaray.At the center of this volume is a detailed explication of Benjamin's effort to transform Husserl's program for a phenomenological epoche into a paradoxically nonprogrammatic, paradisal epoche, by means of which the structure of paradise can be exactly outlined and the Messianic moment―as the ultimate event of arresting language―can at last appear to enter into its own.
