Abstract
Readers of Blanchot have long been aware of the importance of politics in the writer's intellectual itinerary. But though the history of Blanchot's political involvements is now quite well documented (albeit frequently misrepresented to polemical ends), much remains to be understood about Blanchot's conception of the political. Prompted in part by his support for the 'Not In Our Name' appeal, which was to be one of Blanchot's last political gestures, this essay fragment, which is part of a longer inquiry, reconstructs the writer's thinking on the question of the subject of politics and the closely related issue of the relationship between law and violence. It examines Blanchot's response to Holderlin's translation of a famous fragment from Pindar entitled 'Das Hochste' ('The Most High') and places Blanchot's writing within the wider context of the political thought of Benjamin, Schmitt, Agamben, and Derrida.
