Engaging scholars from across humanistic fields grappling with the role and value of theory in our times, Theory's Autoimmunity argues for reclaiming theory's scepticism as a value. To cultivate theory's sceptical impulses is to embrace what Jacques Derrida has termed autoimmunity: a condition of openness to the outside that allows for change.
