Heidegger with Derrida: Being Written attempts, for the first time,
to think Heidegger's philosophy through the lens of Derrida's
logocentric thesis, according to which speech has, throughout the
history of metaphysics, been given primacy over writing. The book
offers a detailed account of Derrida's arguments about the
debasement of writing, an account that leads to a new definition of
writing, conceiving it epistemically, rather than linguistically.
Heidegger's analysis of the gaze and critique of the modern subject
are shown to have logocentric features. This surprising conclusion
entails that Heidegger is well within the metaphysical tradition,
which he labored so intently to overcome. The book sheds new light
on the philosophical roots of Heidegger's involvement with Nazism,
arguing that his hierarchical thinking--the hallmark of
logocentrism and metaphysics-condones violent differentiation
between the 'proper' race and the Other.
