Abstract:
This essay highlights the contribution of Lyotard's conceptions of incommensurable discourses, damage, and wrong in his work The Differend to the ongoing disputes between (neo-)humanists and Levinasians in literary studies. I interpret John Fowles's The Collector in light of Lyotard's thesis, and demonstrate how this thesis is illuminated by Fowles's novel.
