This collection of essays and interviews, some previously
unpublished and almost all of which appear in English for the first
time, encompasses the political and ethical thinking of Jacques
Derrida over thirty years. Passionate, rigorous, beautifully
argued, wide-ranging, the texts shed an entirely new light on his
work and will be welcomed by scholars in many
disciplines--politics, philosophy, history, cultural studies,
literature, and a range of interdisciplinary programs.
Derrida's arguments vary in their responsiveness to given political
questions--sometimes they are vivid polemics on behalf of a
position or figure, sometimes they are reflective analyses of a
philosophical problem. They are united by the recurrent question of
political decision or responsibility and the insistence that the
apparent simplicity or programmatic character of political decision
is in fact a profound avoidance of the political. This volume
testifies to the possibility and the necessity of a philosophical
politics.
"Negotiations" assembles some of the most telling examples of the
intrinsic relationship, so often affirmed by Derrida in more
abstract philosophical terms, between deconstructive reading
practices and what is called the "political"--more precisely,
politics in an almost down-to-earth, pragmatic, and commonsense use
of the word. Among the many subjects covered in the book are: the
death penalty in the United States, the civil war in Algeria,
globalization and cosmopolitanism, the American Declaration of
Independence, Jean-Paul Sartre, the value of objectivity, politics
and friendship, and the relationship between deconstruction and
actuality.
