Publisher Synopsis
A renowned Derrida scholar, McCance offers a detailed and wide-ranging analysis of Derrida's La vie la mort, a seminar in which Derrida provided an extensive presentation of his understanding and treatment of the interplay between the life sciences and philosophy. * Choice * This excellent book allows the reader not only to understand Derrida's La Vie la mort, but to see how it ties together and grounds a number of his other readings, including some of the most important ones, on death, animals, pedagogy, and science and community. This is a superbly researched, written, and argued book on two of the most important though neglected aspects of Derrida's work: his reading of biology and his closely related work on academic institutions. It is a work that anyone who is serious about Derrida will want to read and will have to take into account. Read more...
