Derrida and the Political (Hardcover)

This reasessment of the political implications of deconstruction also provides a reading of Derrida's philosophy through political philosophy. Such a reading is apposite, not simply because it is in line with current trends to reconsider the political application of philosophy, but because it responds to Derrida's own recent shift towards political theory, particularly in his evaluation of the "new world order" in his "Spectres of Marx". This study opens the political implications of Derrida's thought in terms of a philosophy of time. Focusing on the political dimension of the Derridean themes of aporia, invention and the lesser violence, it considers these motifs in the context of untying time from logic. It argues that in order to articulate the "and" between Derrida's philosophy and the political, this untying calls for a reinvention of the relation between political organisation and temporality.
