  • Diderot and the Enlightenment’s Poetics of Confusion in the Lettre sur les aveugles

    John C O’neal, John C O'NealCHAPTERProgressive Poetics Confusion2011

    Like many European thinkers, Diderot found confusion to be the general reaction of the blind man who has recovered his sight and then is asked to name a cube and a sphere he could not touch. He paradoxically uses the state of confusion both as a behaviour to be avoided through analytic methodology and as a necessary condition for enlightenment. Moreover, he would make of it a state to be maintained and not always to be avoided. Taking an inherent…

  • The Progressive Poetics of Confusion in the French Enlightenment

    John C O’neal, John C O'Neal et al.BOOKProgressive Poetics Confusion2011

    In The Progressive Poetics of Confusion in the French Enlightenment, John C. O'Neal draws largely on the etymological meaning of the word confusion as the action of mixing or blending in order to trace the development of this project which, he claims, aimed to reject dogmatic thinking in all of its forms and recognized the need to embrace complexity.

  • "Myth, Language, and Perception in Rousseau's "Narcisse

    John C O''Neal, John C O’neal et al.ARTICLETheatre Journal1985

    The lion's share of critical studies on Rousseau's one-act play Narcisse ou 'Amant de lui-meme focus chiefly on the play's preface while leaving aside several crucial concerns within the play itself.x The polemic over the sciences and the arts is usually taken to be the primary subject of the preface, and not that of the play.2 Yet it is precisely the fundamentally human drama that occurs at the transition from primitive to civilized society that…
