Summary/Abstract: The paper is concerned with the negation of dichotomous and totalizing thinking in the work of Maurice Blanchot from the standpoint of the category of the Third. Kalaga proposes a close reading of Blanchot’s texts to analyse concepts such as neuter, the unknown, the fragmentary as well as writing and trace in Blanchot’s version of the Eternal Return. These concepts evade the binary logic of the Western logos, while the very act of writing – viewed from their perspective – eventually leads to the erasure of the self and the subject.
