Product Description
Review
This wide-ranging encounter with Jacques Derrida's legacy is consistently innovative, discerning, and challenging. Taken as a whole, the collection is both a fitting tribute and an original contribution to critical political philosophy. -- Michael J. Shapiro, University of Hawai'i Far from the hackneyed responses that greeted Derrida's passing, this volume negotiates the profound legacy of his path-breaking thought for ethics, politics and global issues. Through a series of essays -- some of them provocative, all of them original -- this volume rightly understands that fidelity to Derrida's memory is best expressed in terms of a critical engagement that both confronts and draws inspiration from the many challenges his work continues to pose. -- David Campbell, Durham University The negotiations which comprise this collection successfully guide the reader through the complexity that makes Derridean thought so rich. Fighting to keep these tensions from being marginalised, the best contributions within this collection display how this complexity is productive, by using it to engage with contemporary political problematics. In doing so the question of Derrida's legacy is left open, deferring decision on Derrida's legacy to a future to come (a-venir) -- Christopher Zebrowski, Keele University In-Spire This wide-ranging encounter with Jacques Derrida's legacy is consistently innovative, discerning, and challenging.
