Description
Jacques Derrida was one of most influential philosophers of the 20th century. In The Politics of Friendship he explores the idea of friendship and its political consequences, past and future in order to explore invention of a radically new friendship, of a deeper and more inclusive democracy.
Author Biography
Jacques Derrida was Director of Studies at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris.
ReviewsAs Jacques Derrida shows in The Politics of Friendship, many great meditations on friendship-by Cicero, by Montaigne, by Bataille, by Blanchot-are also meditations on mourning ... For Derrida, death lays bare the essential separateness of the friend not only in death but also in life. -- Merve Emre * New Yorker *
