Description

Book Synopsis
Shortly before his death in 2004, Jacques Derrida expressed two paradoxical convictions: he was certain that he would be forgotten the very day he died, yet at the same time certain that something of his work would survive in the cultural memory. This text contributes to the preservation and continuation of Derrida's unique and powerful work.

Trade Review
"A succinct yet extraordinarily intricate thought-tapestry."
Eras

"Peter Sloterdijk has a strong claim to being Germany's foremost public philosopher."
The Philosopher's Magazine

"Recommended"
Choice

"Derrida's debt to German thought is well-known, and he wrote many elegies. Here a contemporary German thinker returns the compliment. A fitting tribute to an important philosopher and, through a sequence of surprising juxtapositions, a powerful work of theory in its own right."
Stuart Elden, Durham University
