This book deconstructs the whole lineage of political philosophy, showing the ways democracy abuts and regularly undermines the sovereignist tradition across a range of texts from the Iliad to ...contemporary philosophy.
Politics is an object of perennial difficulty for philosophy—as recalcitrant to philosophical mastery as is philosophy’s traditional adversary, poetry. That difficulty makes it an attractive topic for any deconstructive approach to the tradition from which we inherit our language and our concepts. Scatter 2 pursues that deconstruction, often starting with, and sometimes departing from, the work of Jacques Derrida by attending to the concepts of sovereignty on the one hand and democracy on the other.
The book begins by following the fate of a line from Homer’s Iliad , where Odysseus asserts that “the rule of many is no good thing, let there be one ruler, one king.” The line, Bennington shows, is quoted, misquoted, and progressively Christianized by Aristotle, Philo Judaeus, Suetonius, the early Church Fathers, Aquinas, Dante, Ockham, Marsilius of Padua, Jean Bodin, Etienne de la Boétie, up to Carl Schmitt and Erik Peterson, and even one of the defendants at the Nuremberg trials, before being discussed by Derrida himself. In the book’s second half, Bennington begins again with Plato and Aristotle and tracks the concept of democracy as it regularly abuts and undermines that sovereignist tradition. In detailed readings of Hobbes and Rousseau, Bennington develops a notion of “proto-democracy” as a possible name for the scatter that underlies and drives the political as such and that will always prevent politics from achieving its aim of bringing itself to an end.
A classic, highly readable introduction to deconstruction that, in
its first edition, sold more than 13,000 copies.The new edition
includes a forty-page Introduction that summarizes how
...deconstructive thought has developed since the book's first
publication.
This volume, consisting of a conversation with Derrida
that is further elaborated by one of his leading interpreters,
represents one of the most lucid, compact and reliable
introductions to Derrida and deconstruction available in any
language. A substantial new Introduction traces the development of
deconstruction alongside other philosophical movements since
Derrida's death. Responding to questions put to him at a
roundtable held at Villanova University in 1994, Jacques Derrida
leads the reader through an illuminating discussion of the central
themes of deconstruction. Speaking in English and extemporaneously,
Derrida takes up with unusual clarity and great eloquence such
topics as the task of philosophy, the Greeks, justice,
responsibility, the gift, community, and the messianic. Derrida
refutes the charges of relativism that are often leveled at
deconstruction by its critics and sets forth the profoundly
affirmative and ethico-political thrust of his work. The roundtable
is marked by an unusual clarity that continues into the second part
of the book, in which one of Derrida's most influential readers,
John D. Caputo, elaborates upon Derrida's comments and supplies
material for further discussion. This edition also includes a
substantial new Introduction by Caputo that discusses the original
context of the book and traces the development of deconstruction
since Derrida's death in 2004, from the rise of new materialisms to
return to religion. Long one of the most lucid and reliable
introductions to Derrida and deconstruction available in any
language, and an ideal volume for students, Deconstruction in a
Nutshell will also prove illuminating for those already
familiar with Derrida's work.
The Future of Hegel Malabou, Catherine

This book is one of the most important recent books on Hegel, a philosopher who has had a crucial impact on the shape of continental philosophy. Published here in English for the first time, it ...includes a substantial preface by Jacques Derrida in which he explores the themes and conclusions of Malabou's book.
The Future of Hegel: Plasticity, Temporality and Dialectic restores Hegel's rich and complex concepts of time and temporality to contemporary philosophy. It examines his concept of time, relating it to perennial topics in philosophy such as substance, accident and the identity of the subject. Catherine Malabou's also contrasts her account of Hegelian temporality with the interpretation given by Heidegger in Being and Time , arguing that it is the concept of 'plasticity' that best describes Hegel's theory of temporality. The future is understood not simply as a moment in time, but as something malleable and constantly open to change through our interpretation. The book also develops Hegel's preoccupation with the history of Greek thought and Christianity and explores the role of theology in his thought. Essential reading for those interested in Hegel and contemporary continental philosophy, The Future of Hegel is also fascinating to those interested in the ideas of Heidegger and Derrida.
Catherine Malabou is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris X, Nanterre.
This book explores some of the implications of interpreting Derrida through the new materialist lens of technicity or plasticity, attending to the significance of ethics, religion and politics in his ...later work. Here the intersection of religion and politics becomes the site for Derrida to develop a “political theology without sovereignty.” By reading Derrida from a new materialist perspective, fresh readings are offered of his ideas of sovereignty, religion, responsibility, and mourning, including engagements with Malabou, Timothy Morton, John D. Caputo, and Karen Barad...Derrida’s philosophy is relevant not just for human ethical language and animality, but to profound developments in the physical and natural sciences, as well as ecology. Here is a new reading of Derrida beyond the conventional understandings of poststructuralism and deconstruction, that is responsive to and critical of some of the newer trends in Continental philosophy.
Artaud the Moma Derrida, Jacques; Cabañas, Kaira M; Kamuf, Peggy

In 1996 Jacques Derrida gave a lecture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York on the occasion ofAntonin Artaud: Works on Paper, one of the first major international exhibitions to present the ...avant-garde dramatist and poet's paintings and drawings. Derrida's original title, "Artaud the Moma," is a characteristic play on words. It alludes to Artaud's calling himself Mômo, Marseilles slang for "fool," upon his return to Paris in 1946 after nine years in various asylums, while playing off of the museum's nickname, MoMA. But the title was not deemed "presentable or decent," in Derrida's words, by the very institution that chose to exhibit Artaud's work. Instead, the lecture was advertised as "Jacques Derrida . . . will present a lecture about Artaud's drawings."For Derrida, what was at stake was what it meant for the museum to exhibit Artaud's drawings and for him to lecture on Artaud in that institutional context. Thinking over the performative force of Artaud's work and the relation between writing and drawing, Derrida addresses the multiplicity of Artaud's identities to confront the modernist museum's valorizing of originality. He channels Artaud's specter, speech, and struggle against representation to attempt to hold the museum accountable for trying to confine Artaud within its categories.Artaud the Moma, as lecture and text, reveals the challenge that Artaud posed to Derrida-and to art and its institutional history. A powerful interjection into the museum halls, this work is a crucial moment in Derrida's thought and an insightful, unsparing reading of a challenging writer and artist.
This interview with Michal Ben-Naftali from March 2004 is one of Derrida's last. It begins with the question of the relationship between love, law, and justice and then moves on to discuss everything ...from the secret, hospitality, friendship, sacrifice, pardon and psychoanalysis to the relationship between deconstruction and melancholy.
