Speaking of Freedom analyzes the development of ideas about freedom
and politics in contemporary French thought from existentialism to
deconstruction, in relation to several of the most prominent
twentieth century liberation struggles. It describes the paradox of
freedom-that freedom "kills itself" in both thought and practice:
in the attempt to theorize the indeterminate, and in the revolution
or emancipatory discourse that dies as it hurries towards its
utopian conclusion, rejecting one system only to be enslaved by
another. Both the philosophical wariness of the concept of
liberation that one finds in Foucault and Derrida, and the desire
for freedom from oppression expressed by anti-colonialists and
feminists, are shown to be necessary for political practice. The
book thus provides a cogent analysis of some of the most difficult
concepts of contemporary continental philosophy, along with a
profound sense of engagement with liberation struggles.
