dc.description.abstract	The modern Continental aesthetic and artistic tradition is often placed in the humanist camp and implicated in the construction of totalising subject formations. In this article I emphasize the other side of the coin by analysing deconstructive tendencies at work in this tradition. I specifically note instances of metaphorical phrasing, as well as a broader ``metaphorical'' understanding of art that undermines the notion of a common, humanist aesthetic experience.	en
