Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“This is an expertly informed analysis, explanation, defense, and affirmation of Derrida’s work. The focus on mourning is extremely suggestive and provocative—really thought-provoking! The book will be read with delight by specialists in the field and will be of real value also to graduate students—those who wish to engage the formative issues of the tradition.”
—David B. Allison,SUNY, Stony Brook
“This book makes an important contribution to scholarship on the thought of Jacques Derrida. Krell presents a careful reading of selected texts representing Derrida’s encounters with phenomenology, psychoanalysis, literature, and art. . . . [Krell] eschews easy answers to critical questions and often ends discussions with questions for the reader to ponder. An indispensable book for anyone studying Derrida.”
—D. M. Maier Choice
“A study that, while introductory, nevertheless engages effectively with the texts it discusses and develops analyses of them that are evocative and worthy of further development.”
—Kir Kuiken Philosophy in Review
