Thinking What Comes, Volume 2 by Derrida, Jacques; Bennington, Geoffrey; Saghafi, Kas;

Short description:

The first English-language translations of writings from the last years of Jacques Derrida?s life

Long description:

In two volumes, Geoffrey Bennington and Kas Saghafi present the majority of Jacques Derrida?s untranslated, and previously uncollected, essays and interviews. Dating mostly from 1992 to 2004, these writings offer a fuller picture of Derrida?s biography, theoretical engagements and the stakes of his social and political investments. Institutions, Inventions, and Inscriptions by Jacques Derrida: Thinking What Comes, Volume 2 collects Derrida?s writings on friends including Emmanuel Levinas, Alain David, Louis Marin, Marie-Louise Mallet, Safaa Fathy, Mathieu Be?ne?zet and Jos Joliet. It also features interviews that illuminate his experience at school, his writing habits, the relation he saw between philosophical discourse to the ?poetic?, and his views on the singularity of literature and fiction. Whether writing about racism and anti-Semitism, filiation and fidelity, or hospitality and responsibility, Derrida is razor-sharp and impassioned. These volumes allow significant insight into his mature thought.
