Abstract
Abstract This essay explores the interface between Beckett and Italian Weak Thought. To do so, it develops an innovative hermeneutical practice, which proposes that their relation is not thematic or philological, but rather ‘co(n)textual.’ Their texts are determined by implied co-texts, and determine a shared con-text. The essay argues that Beckett and Weak Thought co(n)texts articulate a shared critique of absolutist reason. However, they maintain that metaphysics and logocentrism cannot be completely avoided. Thus, both Beckett and Weak Thought articulate the ethical imperative of beckoning towards new ways of a rhetorical dissolution of literature (Beckett), and the distortion of traditional metaphysics (Weak Thought).
