Descripción
Sumario:This book provides a theoretically rich and accessible account of Derrida's political philosophy. Demonstrating the key role inheritance plays in Derrida's thinking, the author develops a general theory of inheritance and shows how it is essential to democratic action. He transforms Derrida's well-known idea of "democracy to come" into active engagement with democratic traditions. The author focuses on issues such as hospitality, justice, normativity, violence, friendship, birth, and the nature of democracy as he reads Derrida's deeply political writings.
