  • Ontology: Early Derrida Reading Early Heidegger
    Jake Nabasny ‘Beyond or Within’ Ontology: Early Derrida Reading Early Heidegger 0. Abstract The publication of Jacques Derrida’s 1964–5 seminar on Martin Heidegger marks a significant event. In these lectures, Derrida puts forth a heterodox reading of the project of fundamental ontology, claiming it is not and never was an ontological or metaphysical enterprise. This reading was intended to rescue Heideggerian Destruktion from the metaphysical lens contemporary scholars had placed it under. While this seminar reveals important insights into the origins of Derridian deconstruction, this paper argues that it ultimately gets Heidegger wrong. From a close reading of the Introduction of Being and Time and proximate lecture courses, I argue that Heidegger’s fundamental ontology is indebted to a phenomenological method that is thoroughly and explicitly ontological. Apart from setting the record straight about Heidegger, I show that this interpretation of Destruktion is inconsistent with Derrida’s reading of Heidegger before and after these lectures were presented. I conclude by tracing this inconsistency throughout Derrida’s later work and considering why the 1964–5 interpretation stands out. Ultimately, this seminar should be read as a stage in the development of Derrida’s mature thought, specifically in regard to the notion of différance. ‘This is a retroactive justification because these themes are only implicit in Sein und Zeit.’ (Derrida 2016, 73) 1. Introduction As Jacques Derrida’s seminars continue to be edited, translated, and published, interest in his oeuvre is constantly renewed. The latest addition to this collection is the 1964–5 seminar Heidegger: The Question of Being and History.

  • Jacques Derrida Law As Absolute Hospitality
    JACQUES DERRIDA LAW AS ABSOLUTE HOSPITALITY JACQUES DE VILLE NOMIKOI CRITICAL LEGAL THINKERS Jacques Derrida Jacques Derrida: Law as Absolute Hospitality presents a comprehensive account and understanding of Derrida’s approach to law and justice. Through a detailed reading of Derrida’s texts, Jacques de Ville contends that it is only by way of Derrida’s deconstruction of the metaphysics of presence, and specifi cally in relation to the texts of Husserl, Levinas, Freud and Heidegger, that the reasoning behind his elusive works on law and justice can be grasped. Through detailed readings of texts such as ‘To Speculate – on Freud’, Adieu, ‘Declarations of Independence’, ‘Before the Law’, ‘Cogito and the History of Madness’, Given Time, ‘Force of Law’ and Specters of Marx, de Ville contends that there is a continuity in Derrida’s thinking, and rejects the idea of an ‘ethical turn’. Derrida is shown to be neither a postmodernist nor a political liberal, but a radical revolutionary. De Ville also controversially contends that justice in Derrida’s thinking must be radically distinguished from Levinas’s refl ections on ‘the Other’. It is the notion of absolute hospitality – which Derrida derives from Levinas, but radically transforms – that provides the basis of this argument. Justice must, on de Ville’s reading, be understood in terms of a demand of absolute hospitality which is imposed on both the individual and the collective subject. A much needed account of Derrida’s infl uential approach to law, Jacques Derrida: Law as Absolute Hospitality will be an invaluable resource for those with an interest in legal theory, and for those with an interest in the ethics and politics of deconstruction.

  • Karen Barad When Two Hands Touch, There Is a Sensuality of the Flesh
    On Touching – The Inhuman That Therefore I Am (v1.1) Preliminary Note: This paper is Karen Barad a slightly revised version of the original paper “On Touching – The Inhuman that Therefore I Am,” which was published in differences 23:3 (2012, p. 206-223). That paper unfortunately included errors result- ing from a misreading my proof cor- rections. I am thankful that Susanne Witzgall and Kerstin Stakemeier has provided an opportunity for this arti- cle to be printed in its correct form. It also includes minor revisions to reset the introduction of the paper since it is now being published in a different forum and no longer intro- duces a journal special issue, which was the original context. 1 The title of my essay here expresses my virtual engagements and entanglements with Jacques Derrida. I am indebted to Astrid Schrader and Vicki Kirby for putting me in touch with Derrida through their marvellous materialist readings of his work. 2 Touch has been an object of study for centuries, going back at least to Aristotle’s momentous work on this topic. Part of what is at stake in this essay, is joining with other feminist and postcolonial theorists in troubling the notion of touch as an innocent form of engagement and also, by implication, troubling its positioning in the history of philosophy as a mutually consent- ing act between individuals, free When two hands touch, there is a sensuality of the flesh, an exchange of culture, history, and politics. of warmth, a feeling of pressure, of presence, a proximity of other- The literature on this is extensive.

  • Ethos of Diffraction: New Paradigms for a (Post)Humanist Ethics Kathrin
    This is an Author’s Original Manuscript of an article published in special issue ‘Diffracted Worlds, Diffractive Reading: Onto-Epistemologies and the Critical Humanities’ (eds. B Kaiser and K Thiele) Parallax, 20:3 (issue 72): 202-216 (DOI: 10.1080/13534645.2014.927627) [to quote, please consult the published version] Ethos of Diffraction: New Paradigms for a (Post)humanist Ethics Kathrin Thiele …the very house of difference rather [than] the security of any one particular difference. Audre Lorde Zami.1 How to live a world of difference(s), a world in/as ongoing differentiation, in such ways that the outcome is not ever more separation and antagonism, exclusion and the fear of others, but so that new senses of commonality are envisioned? This article takes up this broad ethico- political (and to certain extents also insistingly human(ist)) quest for alternative worldly enactments, which I feel with contemporary urge on a planetary scale. Two issues seem at stake today when we approach this question of difference(s) and differentiality from such an ethico-political perspective: on the one hand, there seems to be an ever increasing sense of what can be called a post-secular awareness that ‘world’ is nothing but (dis)continuous differentiation, and that, thus, ‘we’ – and this article will be specifically concerned with the engagement of such ‘we’ – will not find any unambiguously ‘good’ alternative or ‘secure’ universal ground that is not always/already implicated in the unequal power relations constituting everything; and, on the other hand – and maybe as a consequence of such awareness – ‘we’ cannot not notice in our daily experiences the ubiquity of difference(s) played out globally as increasing inequalities and processes of exclusion, instigating frightening renewals of xeno- and other phobic anxieties.

  • Jacques Derrida on the Reality of Universals Joshua Anderson and Hikari Ishido
    201712/12 DISCUSSION PAPERS Jacques Derrida on the Reality of Universals Joshua Anderson and Hikari Ishido Jacques Derrida on the Reality of Universals Joshua Anderson and Hikari Ishido 1. Introduction Jacques Derrida (1930-2004), an influential anti-realist, uncovers the underlying assumptions of Western philosophy since Ancient Greece, and contends that its premise cannot be maintained. He thought Western philosophy is “impossible” since it presumes the reality of universal that is the objective of all the foundations or all processes, such as idea (Plato), God (Augustine), Cogito (Descartes), and absolute spirit (Hegel). This short paper addresses the way Derrida made his case against the reality of universals and discusses its consequence in society. Section 2 introduces his deconstruction thesis in connection to the reality of universals. Section 3 addresses the impact of his deconstruction on the contemporary society. Section 4 briefly discusses the significance of Derrida’s philosophy on written texts and the Christian doctrine. Section 5 concludes this paper. 2. Deconstruction and the reality of universals Derrida calls such existence “existence - God - purpose - theory of origin” in his seminal Of Grammatology (Derrida, 1974 and 1978). These are indeed the starting assumptions of Western philosophy. The philosophical premises of existence - God - purpose - theory of origin and so on all have a feature of dichotomous relationship: “essence (as idea) / appearance (as particular)” and “ego / subject”. The two dichotomous things are not equal to each other. For example, Plato decided that an idea would be established by Idea. And the 1 201712/12 DISCUSSION PAPERS Jacques Derrida on the Reality of Universals Joshua Anderson and Hikari Ishido dichotomous conflict represents a hierarchy in which one is superior to the other.

  • Christopher Norris: Derrida, Badiou, and the Formal Imperative
    Christopher Norris: Derrida, Badiou and the Formal Imperative. Continuum, 2012. 197+vii pp. Reviewed by Paul M. Livingston, University of New Mexico I Do “we” need, today, a rapprochement between analytic and “continental” philosophy? If so, from what philosophical and critical imperatives does such a need arise, and to what kinds of actual problems, political and social as well as theoretical, should it respond? Might giving a critical response to contemporary social and political problems require remapping familiar division lines between the analytic and continental traditions, sometimes in ways that will initially appear surprising and unfamiliar to those convinced of the legitimacy of the old traditional boundaries? To what extent might this require a creative rethinking of the boundaries and structural implications of formalism and of the kind of formalizing project so characteristic of one strand of the analytic tradition? And who might be the “we” (mentioned in the first question) that could emerge from such a critical remapping of methodological and thematic territories, as inheritors of the legacy of both traditions in twentieth century philosophy and practitioners of a new kind of philosophy drawing on the best resources of both? These are some of the questions raised by Christopher Norris’s useful and potentially important book, Derrida, Badiou and the Formal Imperative. In particular, Norris makes the heterodox but ultimately convincing argument that the work of two of the most important contemporary and recent “continental” philosophers, Jacques Derrida and Alain Badiou, responds in both cases to a “formal” imperative by developing the implications of classical formal and logical structures to the “breaking point” of structurally inherent aporias and paradoxes.
