Features: Paul de Man's life was one that wandered between literature and philosophy. Few philosophers are as familiar with Wordsworth, Keats, Shelley, H?lderlin, and Baudelaire as he is, and few critics are as familiar with Hegel, Schiller, Nietzsche, and Heidegger. With immense courage, de Man wielded rhetorical theory to master these great names. He never followed in their footsteps or bowed to their vast ideas. Instead, he used his theories to devour them, digest them, expose them, and uncover the secrets of these colossal thoughts—the secrets of meaning production. Ultimately, they were merely secrets of language.
