Description
The Beast and the Sovereign, Volume I by Jacques Derrida explores the persistent association between bestiality and sovereignty. In this seminar from 2001-2002, Derrida deconstructs traditional determinations of the human, arguing that both animals and kings are subject to the law, yet in different ways. Derrida examines a range of texts, including fables, philosophical treatises, and historical accounts, to trace the connection between the beast and sovereignty. He considers how these concepts intersect with questions of force, right, justice, and the limits between man and animal. This thought-provoking work is part of an ambitious series edited by Geoffrey Bennington and Peggy Kamuf, making it a valuable addition to any philosophy or history collection. The University of Chicago Press has published this important work in English, marking a significant milestone in the translation of Derrida's unpublished material.
