Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reactions to Derrida vary dramatically: some regard him as a charlatan, as simply nihilistic and irrationalist; others as an extraordinarily clear and patient thinker, concerned with the affirmation and elaboration of a new enlightenment.

Book Synopsis Kant After Derrida by : Philip Rothfield
Download or read book Kant After Derrida written by Philip Rothfield and published by Clinamen Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jacques Derrida's career-long engagement with the philosophy of Emmanuel Kant has made possible a sea-change in both the understanding and methods of appraisal of Kant's work. Kant After Derrida is a collection of essays which reflects the breadth of this re-appraisal, assessing the principal points of contact and dissonance between the Derridean deconstructive approach and Kant's 'critical apparatus' ... While explicitly avoiding simple opposition, Derrida's work and its influence has intimately effected reconfigurations on familiar Kantian subjects such as beauty, nature, freedom, the transcendental, the categories, casting anew the ethical, aesthetic, physical and metaphysical systems with which Kant blazed his 'Copernican revolution'. The richness and diversity of these essays is evidence both of the strength and enduring power of Kant's achievement some two hundred years after his death, and tribute to the value of the very Derridean notion of 'reading with'." -- From back cover.

Book Synopsis Cultural Graphology by : Juliet Fleming
Download or read book Cultural Graphology written by Juliet Fleming and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Cultural Graphology" Juliet Fleming explains the consequences of Jacques Derrida s thoughts about writing to those interested in the history of the book. She is especially interested in Derrida s writing in tandem with bibliography, to open new ways of thinking about the print culture of early modern England and the literary writing that got caught up in it. Fleming uses a deep reading of Derrida to analyze ignored forms of writing, of parts of books that are not writing, and of uses of books that she challenges us to think of as alternative and overlooked forms of reading. In particular, she thinks through printers errors and Shakespeare s blots; the printers flowers that ornamented early modern books; semantic elements that form "not" words, but parts of words (letters, syllables, and spaces); and early modern decoupage, or the cutting up of books. Fleming uses these examples drawn from early modern print culture to demonstrate how some of the governing assumptions of bibliography might be loosened and re-configured in the wake of Derrida s thought, and she demonstrates in a new way the consequence in Derrida s oeuvre of his career-long commitment to the topic of writing."
Book Synopsis Seeing Animals after Derrida by : Sarah Bezan
Download or read book Seeing Animals after Derrida written by Sarah Bezan and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume charts a new course in animal studies that re-examines Jacques Derrida's enduring thought on the visualization of the animal in his seminal Cerisy Conference from 1997, The Animal That Therefore I Am. Building new proximities with the animal in and through - and at times in spite of - the visual apparatus, Seeing Animals after Derrida investigates how the recent turn in animal studies toward new materialism, speculative realism, and object-oriented ontology prompts a renewed engagement with Derrida's animal philosophy. In taking up the matter of Derrida's treatment of animality for the current epoch, the contributors to this book each present a case for new philosophical approaches and aesthetic paradigms that challenge the ocularcentrism of Western culture.
Book Synopsis Complementarity by : Arkady Plotnitsky
Download or read book Complementarity written by Arkady Plotnitsky and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many commentators have remarked in passing on the resonance between deconstructionist theory and certain ideas of quantum physics. In this book, Arkady Plotnitsky rigorously elaborates the similarities and differences between the two by focusing on the work of Niels Bohr and Jacques Derrida. In detailed considerations of Bohr's notion of complementarity and his debates with Einstein, and in analysis of Derrida's work via Georges Bataille's concept of general economy, Plotnitsky demonstrates the value of exploring these theories in relation to each other. Bohr's term complementarity describes a situation, unavoidable in quantum physics, in which two theories thought to be mutually exclusive are required to explain a single phenomenon. Light, for example, can only be explained as both wave and particle, but no synthesis of the two is possible. This theoretical transformation is then examined in relation to the ways that Derrida sets his work against or outside of Hegel, also resisting a similar kind of synthesis and enacting a transformation of its own. Though concerned primarily with Bohr and Derrida, Plotnitsky also considers a wide range of anti-epistemological endeavors including the work of Nietzsche, Bataille, and the mathematician Kurt Gödel. Under the rubric of complementarity he develops a theoretical framework that raises new possiblilities for students and scholars of literary theory, philosophy, and philosophy of science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Europe's continuing crisis merely a financial one? Tackling issues ranging from Europe's legal, institutional and cultural identity to its border, citizenship and integration policies, and looking forward to its legacy for the future, the contributors to this volume interrogate the various dimensions and contours of the European crisis. By revisiting Derrida's diagnosis of the crisis of European identity, they simultaneously propose a new direction for Europe, and an alternative response to today's crisis.

Download or read book Demenageries written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demenageries, Thinking (of) Animals after Derrida is a collection of essays on animality following Jacques Derrida’s work. The Western philosophical tradition separated animals from men by excluding the former from everything that was considered “proper to man”: laughing, suffering, mourning, and above all, thinking. The “animal” has traditionally been considered the absolute Other of humans. This radical otherness has served as the rationale for the domination, exploitation and slaughter of animals. What Derrida called “la pensée de l’animal” (which means both thinking concerning the animal and “animal thinking”) may help us understand differently such apparently human features as language, thought and writing. It may also help us think anew about such highly philosophical concerns as differences, otherness, the end(s) of history and the world at large. Thanks to the ethical and epistemological crisis of Western humanism, “animality” has become an almost fashionable topic. However, Demenageries is the first collection to take Derrida’s thinking on animal thinking as a starting point, a way of reflecting not only on animals but starting from them, in order to address a variety of issues from a vast range of theoretical perspectives: philosophy, literature, cultural theory, anthropology, ethics, politics, religion, feminism, postcolonialism and, of course, posthumanism.
Book Synopsis Theory after Derrida by : Kailash C. Baral
Download or read book Theory after Derrida written by Kailash C. Baral and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical anthology that re-examines Jacques Derrida’s thought by way of theory and praxis, this volume reflects on his striking legacy and the future of theory. Among contemporary thinkers, Derrida challenges not only our ways of thinking but also hitherto methods of inquiry. This book captures how Derrida renovates and re-energises philosophy by questioning the fundamental assumptions of Western philosophical thought. By doing so, he exposes the intricate lie behind binaries, such as speech/writing, nature/culture, male/female, black/white, literature/criticism, etc., which have continued to shape our worldview, where a hegemonic centre is always already in place dominating or marginalising the ‘other’. A significant contribution to literary theory, this book explores not only the status of Derrida’s contribution as a critical thinker but also the status of critical theory as such in the contemporary milieu. The central question that it asks is whether we should dismiss Derrida as a thinker who espoused an extreme form of relativism, bordering on nihilism, or has he something fundamental to contribute to the future of theory. Could it be that deconstruction is not destruction but a possibility that casts doubts on whether the present can have faith in future? This second edition includes a new Postscript and addresses some important concerns of our times, such as religious practice, art and aesthetics, translation, sociology of philosophy, and democracy. Scholars and researchers of English literature, philosophy, sociology and cultural studies will find this work particularly interesting.
Download or read book An Event, Perhaps written by Peter Salmon and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosopher, film star, father of “post truth”—the real story of Jacques Derrida Who is Jacques Derrida? For some, he is the originator of a relativist philosophy responsible for the contemporary crisis of truth. For the far right, he is one of the architects of Cultural Marxism. To his academic critics, he reduced French philosophy to “little more than an object of ridicule.” For his fans, he is an intellectual rock star who ranged across literature, politics, and linguistics. In An Event, Perhaps, Peter Salmon presents this misunderstood and misappropriated figure as a deeply humane and urgent thinker for our times. Born in Algiers, the young Jackie was always an outsider. Despite his best efforts, he found it difficult to establish himself among the Paris intellectual milieu of the 1960s. However, in 1967, he changed the whole course of philosophy: outlining the central concepts of deconstruction. Immediately, his reputation as a complex and confounding thinker was established. Feted by some, abhorred by others, Derrida had an exhaustive breadth of interests but, as Salmon shows, was moved by a profound desire to understand how we engage with each other. It is a theme explored through Derrida’s intimate relationships with writers such as Althusser, Genet, Lacan, Foucault, Cixous, and Kristeva. Accessible, provocative and beautifully written, An Event, Perhaps will introduce a new readership to the life and work of a philosopher whose influence over the way we think will continue long into the twenty-first century.

Book Synopsis After Derrida by : Jean-Michel Rabaté
Download or read book After Derrida written by Jean-Michel Rabaté and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays explores the main concepts and methods of reading launched by French philosopher Jacques Derrida who died in 2004. Derrida exerted a huge influence on literary critics in the 1980s, but later there was a backlash against his theories. Today, one witnesses a general return to his way of reading literature, the rationale of which is detailed and explained in the essays. The authors, both well-known and younger specialists, give many precise examples of how Derrida, who always remained at the cusp between literature and philosophy, posed fundamental questions and thus changed the field of literary criticism, especially with regard to poetry. The contributors also highlight the way Derrida made spectacular interventions in feminism, psychoanalytic studies, animal studies, digital humanities and post-colonial studies.
Book Synopsis Alienation After Derrida by : Simon Skempton
Download or read book Alienation After Derrida written by Simon Skempton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03-16 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alienation After Derrida rearticulates the Hegelian-Marxist theory of alienation in the light of Derrida's deconstruction of the metaphysics of presence. Simon Skempton aims to demonstrate in what way Derridian deconstruction can itself be said to be a critique of alienation. In so doing, he argues that the acceptance of Derrida's deconstructive concepts does not necessarily entail the acceptance of his interpretations of Hegel and Marx. In this way the book proposes radical reinterpretations, not only of Hegel and Marx, but of Derridian deconstruction itself. The critique of the notions of alienation and de-alienation is a key component of Derridian deconstruction that has been largely neglected by scholars to date. This important new study puts forward a unique and original argument that Derridian deconstruction can itself provide the basis for a rethinking of the concept of alienation, a concept that has received little serious philosophically engaged attention for several decades.
