"Will a more important book on Heidegger appear in our time? No, not unless Derrida continues to think and write in his spirit. . . . Let there be no mistake: this is not merely a brilliant book on Heidegger, it is thinking in the grand style."--David Farrell Krell,; IResearch in Phenomenology; X

While much has been written against the death penalty, the author contends that Western philosophy is massively, if not always obviously, complicit with a logic in which a sovereign state has the right to take a life.

Collecting the best of the author's work that was published in the "Critical Inquiry" journal between 1980 and 2002, this title provides an introduction to the philosopher and the evolution of his thought.

Focuses in on questions of force, right, justice, and philosophical interpretations of the limits between man and animal.

You were reading a somewhat retro loveletter, the last in history. But you have not yet received it. Yes, its lack or excess of address prepares it to fall into all hands: a post card, an open letter in which the secret appears, but indecipherably. You can take it or pass it off, for examplle, as a message from Socrates to Freud.
