Book Synopsis
Presents an examination of three sites in Derrida's thought: his interpretation of Heidegger regarding the privileging of the question; his account of the Platonic figure of the good; and his interpretation of Plato's discourse on the crucial notion of the chora, the originating space of the universe.

Trade Review
"All of John Sallis's work is essential, but this book in particular is remarkable.... Sallis shows better than anyone I have ever read what it means to practice philosophy on the verge." - Walter Brogan, Villanova University "Sallis has written a unique work that combines philosophical analysis with a heartfelt reflection on his friendship with Derrida." - Library Journal"
