Description

Originally published in 1995, Advances was written by Jacques Derrida as a long foreword to a book by one of his most promising former students, the philosopher Serge Margel's Le Tombeau du Dieu Artisan (The Tomb of the Craftsman). It is an opening for a new reflection on our current ecological and political crises that are all the more urgent today.
