It undertakes nothing less than a deconstruction of the phenomenological principle of principles, intuitionism, and the touchstone experience called touching. In a circulation through the history of philosophy since Aristotle up to the work of his contemporary and beloved friend Jean-Luc Nancy, the epochal thinker of touch, this book comes from and goes to the very heart of Derrida's thought.\"\u003cbr\u003e  —Peggy Kamuf,\u003cbr\u003e  University of Southern California\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e@fmct:Contents  @toc4:Foreword\tiii  Translator's Preface\tiii  @toc2:\"When our eyes touch \"\t000  @toc3:Signing a Question--from Aristotle  @toc1:Part I: This Is--of the Other  @toc2:1.
