The status of criticism
Abstract
The text belongs to a debate in literary criticism on the question of method. As a matter of fact, the author does not consider himself as a defensor of a definite method. This means that the dividing line in current literary approach does not concern the question of method. What does not imply that there is a common denominator in today theoretical and critical approach to literature. That is the reason why the text below is characterized by its contraposition to the so-called desconstructionist critique, more specifically against Jacques Derrida’s approach.
