Cambridge: Polity Press 2001. Paperback 23 cm 161 pp. In this series of dialogues Derrida discusses and elaborates on some of the central themes of his work such as the problems of genesis justice authorship and death. Combining autobiographical reflection with philosophical enquiry Derrida illuminates the ideas that have characterized his thought from its beginning to the present day. If there is one feature that links these contributions it is the theme of singularity -- the uniqueness of the individual the resistance of existence to philosophy the temporality of the singular and exceptional moment and the problem of exemplarity. The second half of this book contains an essay by Maurizio Ferraris in which he explores the questions of indication time and the inscription of the transcendental in the empirical. A work of outstanding philosophy and scholarship the essay is developed in close proximity to Derrida and in dialogue with figures such as Plato Aristotle Plotinus Kant Hegel and Heidegger. It thereby provides a useful introduction to the philosophy of one of Italya s most prominent philosophers as well as an excellent complement to Derridaa s own ideas. A Taste for the Secret consists of material that has never before appeared in English. It will be of interest to second--year undergraduates graduate students and academics in philosophy modern languages literature literary theory and the humanities generally.

Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only and as part of Stanford University's legendary "Meridian Crossing: Aesthetics" Series. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Jacques Derrida's "Adieu: Emmanuel Levinas" in a felicitous English translation. The speech given by the philosopher at Emmanuel Levinas' funeral on December 27 1995 in its definitive final form. An ethics of hospitality as the authentic response to every human encounter particularly of The Other foreigners immigrants minorities poor people Derrida reaffirms and expounds on Levinas' "face-to-face" ethics and in sharp contrast to the ethics of say Alain Badiou and Slavoj Zizek among contemporary thinkers. "The word 'adieu' names a fundamental characteristic of human being: The salutation or benediction prior to all constative language in certain circumstances one can say 'adieu' at the moment of meeting and that given at the moment of separation sometimes forever as at the moment of death it is also the a-dieu for God or to God before and in any relation to the other. Extends his work on Levinas in previously unexplored directions via a radical re-reading of Totality and Infinity and other texts including the lesser-known Talmudic readings. Argues that Levinas especially in Totality and Infinity bequeaths to us an 'immense treatise of hospitality' a meditation on the welcome offered to The Other. Derrida raises these questions in the most explicit of terms moving back and forth between philosophical argument and the political discussion of immigration laws peace the state of Israel and xenophobia reminding us with every move that thinking is not a matter of neutralizing abstraction but a gesture of hospitality for what happens and still may happen" Publisher's blurb . An absolute "must-have" title for Jacques Derrida collectors. <b><i> This title is a great book.
