Description
Derrida on Time by Joanna Hodge explores the concept of time in the work of Jacques Derrida, comparing and contrasting his arguments with those of other influential thinkers. Drawing on a wide range of Derrida's texts, Hodge examines how temporality is central to his thought, blurring the distinction between past and present, biography and literature, philosophical and religious meditation. Through an analysis of death, touch, and transcendence, Hodge argues that Derrida's radical understanding of time as non-linear or irregular reveals a continuity in his thought that has previously been overlooked. This comprehensive investigation provides new insights into Derrida's philosophy, shedding light on the themes of temporality and its significance in his work. By examining the intersections between Derrida's ideas and those of other prominent thinkers, Hodge offers a nuanced understanding of Derrida's concept of time and its implications for our understanding of the self and human experience.
