In this path-breaking study Christopher Norris proposes a
transformed understanding of the much-exaggerated differences
between analytic and continental philosophy. While keeping the
analytic
tradition squarely in view his book focuses on the work of Jacques
Derrida and Alain Badiou, two of the most original and significant
figures in the recent history of ideas.
Norris argues that these thinkers have decisively reconfigured the
terrain of contemporary philosophy and, between them, pointed a way
beyond some of those seemingly intractable issues that have
polarised debate on both sides of the notional rift between the
analytic and continental traditions. In particular his book sets
out to show - against the received analytic wisdom - that
continental philosophy has its own analytic resources and is
capable of bringing some much-needed fresh insight to bear on
problems in philosophy of language, logic and mathematics. Norris
provides not only a unique comparative account of Derrida's and
Badiou's work but also a remarkably wide-ranging assessment of
their joint contribution to philosophy's current - if widely
resisted - potential for self-transformation.
