Summary
The death of Jacques Derrida in 2004 represented a major interruption in contemporary intellectual life. This death calls for an engagement with Derridas work and an attempt to understand his legacy. Such a discussion is fraught with tension between remaining faithful after death and putting Derridas writing to work in new directions, posing challenges and exposing limitations. In short this legacy is, necessarily, a negotiation. The aim of this book is to grapple with this specific theme and to explore the implications of Derridas death for the future of critical thought itself. The author.
