Description

A key textbook on one of the major thinkers of our times. Jacques Derrida: Live Theory is a new introduction to the work of this most influential of contemporary philosophers. It covers Derrida's corpus in its entirety - from his earliest work in phenomenology and the philosophy of language, to his last work in ethics, politics, and religion. It investigates Derrida's contribution to, and impact upon such disciplines as philosophy, literary theory, cultural studies, aesthetics and theology. Throughout, the key concepts that underpin Derrida's thought are thoroughly examined; in particular, the notion of 'the Other' or 'alterity' is identified as embodying a fundamental continuity from Derrida's earliest to his last work. The text emphasises the importance of understanding Derrida's philosophical heritage as the key to understanding his project. Valuably, the text also considers recent engagement with Derrida in the analytic philosophical tradition and includes a new interview with Derrida himself, conducted specially for this book. Jacques Derrida: Live Theory is a key resource for anyone studying this major thinker and writer.
