David Appelbaum

Jacques Derrida's Ghost (eBook, PDF)

A Conjuration

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

A spirited reading of Derrida's view of ethics as transcendental and performative.

In Jacques Derrida's Ghost, David Appelbaum explores three of Derrida's favorite themes: the other, death, and the work of mourning. He shows how Derrida's unique philosophy, mindful of ghosts, proposes a respectful attitude toward otherness-whether the "other" be corporeal or indeed phantom. Taking up Derrida's concern with performative ethics, Appelbaum examines the possibility of such an ethics of subjectivity within the context of performance.
