Description
Derrida From Now On by Michael Naas explores Jacques Derrida's thought in its original context and its continued relevance for contemporary philosophy and literary theory. The author begins with an analysis of Derrida's attachment to the French language, Europe, and European secular thought before examining his engagement with the American context. Naas demonstrates how Derrida's analyses of sovereignty, democracy, religion, and mourning can help us understand current issues in American culture, literature, and politics. This book is a response to the urgency surrounding Derrida's disappearance and an attempt to engage with the necessity of translating his thought elsewhere. By examining several of Derrida's later works, including "Faith and Knowledge" and The Work of Mourning, Naas sheds new light on the significance of deconstruction for understanding post-9/11 America.
