Description
Book SynopsisWritten in the wake of Jacques Derrida's death in 2004, this title attempts both to do justice to the memory of Derrida and to demonstrate the significance of his work for contemporary philosophy and literary theory. It provides an analysis of Derrida's attachment to the French language, to Europe, and to European secular thought.
Trade Review"Naas is a true heir of Derrida." -- -Dawne McCance University of Manitoba "A genuine homage to Derrida." -- -Leonard Lawlor University of Memphis Michael Naas's Derrida From Now On has the depth and seriousness that experienced readers of Derrida will demand. Yet the style of the book is so clear and direct, so engaging, that those who are just beginning to read Derrida will also be eminently rewarded by it. A remarkable achievement! -- -David Farrell Krell DePaul University / Universitat Freiburg
