This volume brings together some of the most well-known and highly
respected commentators on the work of Jacques Derrida from Britain
and America in a series of essays written to commemorate the life
and come to terms with the death of one of the most important
intellectual presences of our time.
Derrida's thought reached into nearly every corner of
contemporary intellectual culture and the difference he has made is
incalculable. He was indeed controversial but the astonishing
originality of his work, always marked by the care, precision and
respect with which he read the work of others, leaves us with a
philosophical, ethical and political legacy that will be both
lasting and decisive.
The sometimes personal, always insightful essays reflect on the
multiple ways in which Derrida's work has marked intellectual
culture in general and the literary and philosophical culture of
Britain and America in particular. The outstanding contributors
offer an interdisciplinary view, investigating areas such as
deconstruction, ethics, time, irony, technology, location and
truth. This book provides a rich and faithful context for thinking
about the significance of Derrida's own work as an event that
arrived and perhaps still remains to arrive in our time.
