This book, newly available in paperback, gathers essays written by
Geoffrey Bennington since the death of his friend Jacques Derrida
in 2004. All continue the ongoing work of elucidating difficult and
complex thought, often enough with reference to Derrida's
persistent interrogation of the concepts of life and death,
mourning and melancholia, and what he sometimes calls
'half-mourning'. Not Half No End relates this 'ethical'
interruption of mourning to the persistent but still ill-understood
motif of interrupted teleology, which, it is argued here, is
definitive of deconstruction in general. This suspension or
interruption of the end (which is none other than differance
'itself') has all manner of consequences for our thinking, and for
how we attempt to categorize that thinking (as epistemological,
ethical, political or aesthetic, for example). Not Half No End
moves through all these domains, and the whole of Derrida's rich
and varied corpus, in a weave of styles - from the expository and
analytic to the autobiographical and confessional - in the ongoing
process of deconstruction. Key Features * New collection of essays
by major theorist * Expanded readings of late texts by Derrida *
Research monograph on mourning and melancholy * First consideration
of the legacy of Derrida by a co-author
