Description
This book is dedicated to Jacques Derrida's memory and represents the culmination of forty years of friendship between J. Hillis Miller and Derrida, during which Miller closely followed all of Derrida's writings and seminars.
The chapters in this book act as advocates for Derrida's work, focusing especially on his late writings, including passages from unpublished seminars. They offer a series of perspectives on the heterogeneity of Derrida's work, inviting readers to engage with his ideas slowly, carefully, and faithfully.
While not a substitute for reading Derrida's works directly, this book aims to render his writings justice by "plainly propounding" what he says. It is hoped that it will encourage readers to explore Derrida's work further.
