Description

Book Synopsis
Provides an account of Jacques Derrida's involvement in debates about the university. Derrida has long argued that philosophy simultaneously belongs and does not belong to the university. This book asks whether a broader tension between "belonging" and "not belonging" also forms the basis of Derrida's political thinking and activism.
