Is there a concept of the enemy? To what discursive sphere would it
belong? Or, if there is no concept of the enemy, what are the
factors that could have prevented its articulation? Following the
reflections of Carl Schmitt and Jacques Derrida on the
theologico-political, and reading canonical texts from the Western
philosophical, political, and religious traditions, the author
seeks to account for the absence of a history of the enemy. The
question of the enemy emerges in this book as contingent on the way
Europe has related to both Jew and Arab as concrete enemies.
Moreover, the author provocatively argues that the Jew and the Arab
constitute the condition of religion and politics. Among the many
strengths of the book is the timeliness of its profound study of
contemporary actuality: the volume provides a basis for a
philosophical understanding of the forces at work that produced and
kindled current conflicts in Europe, the U.S., and the Middle East.
