In a brilliant collection of essays, de Man explores his views, that, the resistance to theory is inherent in the theoretical enterprise itself, and the real debate is with its own methodological assumptions and possibilities.

There is resistance to 'theory' and also confusion about its status with reference to both philosophy and criticism." —Frank Kermode Paul de Man (1919-1983) held appointments at Cornell, Johns Hopkins, the University of Zurich, and Yale.
