Compared to the othr active French philosopher,Maurice Blanchot,who was a French writer critics and thinkers in the 20th century,he is silent,nameless,unspeakable and always conceal himself.He deeply influenced the French literary circles by his a state of silence and loneliness.His life in pursuit of a kind of "absolute solitude " the existence of silence,he erased himself whaever in life or in the literary creation."Silence" is a feature of his literary ideology and practice.He puruited the Silence all over his life,whether his living environment,reflected in his literary thought and literature creation.The introduction of silence literature guided r us to explore and research of the Blanchot's silent ideology.Blanchot's silence of literature is drived from the dominant western traditional metaphysics,the logos in academic and hidden behind it attaches great importance to the visual observation of the world vision of the splitting(ocularcentric)criticism.Art after retirement and after the withdrawal of the gods did not become a "thing" in the past,also did not come to an end,but found a new way--the way of art is back to art itself-art back to itself and return to the nature silence,art for its own independence.This is beginning of the art itself!The dimensions that can embody Blanchot's idea of "silence" most are his view of language,subject and his literary practice.Blanchot's view of silence was greatly influenced by the "null and void" poetics of Mallarme and the negative view of Hagel.And his ideas develop and beyond them finally.After the negation of the reality of things and the concept of the subject,the language of the poem is plunged into a kind of silence,in this way the language returns to itself and a kind of "stands written".This is the voice from the outside,the voice of nothingness,the whisper of silence itself.The two main subjects in literary activities,both the author and the reader,exist in mute nameless,and silent with the gait of self-withdrawal.In the view of the independence and non-utility of the literature works,the subject of writing should dispel itself and carry out a kind of "non-individualization".The author can approach closer to the works itself and nature in the state of "no-self" and "lost-self".Similarly,the reader should also be a silent and nameless existence.Through he witnessed the birth and the narrative of the works,he is only a nameless,silent,impersonal existence.Blanchot's thought of "Silence" is deeply embodied in his literary practice.In his narrative works,he always insists on a nameless and silent "subtraction writing" which subject hides behind the text.He broke down the narrator's function in order to erase narrator into silence.He blurs the character image to make it nameless,and he mixed disorderly sequence of time and space,the storyline etc.Fragmented way of writing leaves a lot of indeterminacies,fracture and blank despite seemingly accountable narration which in fact is relative silence.The silence of Blanchot's literature is inseparable from his experience of "neuter" which is tended to the silence of language and makes it possible for literature to pursue infinite in the structure of the text and explore the unknown.Blanchot's ideas influenced the contemporary and the subsequent French ideologist deeply.His role is very important in the history of literature and philosophy in France and even in the world.Research on him can bring him back to our field of vision,to study and focus on his theory and its application in the contemporary context.
