简介： 详细介绍： 《书写与差异》：德里达思想的藤蔓 书评风子（学者、中山大学教授） 2001年九月，德里达来到中国，与之同时，《书写与差异》的中译本与之一道面世。不知是德里达在发现他自己写作的“它者”——他的法语变成汉语或汉字的“纹迹”，还是汉语在等待这个尤为尊重与回应它者的思想家——这将激发汉语与其自身的“差异”。对德里达来到中国这个事件的回应是否就是加入他所呼吁的“以言行事”的书写事件——尤其是心灵书写的事件之中？！不知道这个事件是否已经开始造势，但可以肯定的是，这个事件不会因他的离开而终结。 进入德里达的文本总是困难的，这不仅因为他充分肯定阅读与写作本身的艰难，而且还并不试图回避与化解这些疑难，写作就是承受并撑开困局，从来没有现成的方法与答案作为万能钥匙去打开文本。对文本的尊重就在于进入文本由作者从无到有的书写中所经历的对语言到来时的不安与恐惧、惊讶与快乐之中。文本总是开放的，并要求回应，于是阅读也将承担作者在书写时所承受的伦理与责任。 因此，这要求我们在读到《书写与差异》中那些迅疾、繁复的句子时有充分的耐心，既要甘心被那些充满诱惑、色彩绚烂的语词所吸引，又要敏锐清醒地回到自己阅读与理解的限度，并且还要默默祈求自己有足够停顿的时间，以便在文本的间隔与边缘写下自己的语词，或总结、或牵引、或指引的语词，以使自己不至于遗失在文本的迷宫之中。读者要时常问自己：“你是谁？……你在那书中吗？”因为语词的意义总在“过热的文字事件之肉与过冷的概念之皮间奔跑”（该书第123页），于是你阅读的注意力不要沉迷其间，而是就守在那“门槛处”，犹如卡夫卡小说中的乡下人在《法的门前》。 《书写与差异》的写作延伸开了德里达思想早期即整个60年代，德里达思想的藤蔓在该书中有了充分的伸展，他后期思想的各个方向在该书写中都已有了雏形，并有待分疏。从书中可以清晰地看到他对胡塞尔现象学及海德格尔的"在场"存在论的解构与移位，力求从一个“非哲学”的位置来看西方哲学本身，但又并不是放弃与抛弃哲学（这是很多人对解构的误解），解构要指明的恰好是一方面揭示西方哲学总以在场、同一性、光照为核心拯救现象却不自知自身限度，另一方面，语言本身本来并不受形而上学“内-外”的限制，可以通过语言，在哲学的语言内找到一个非哲学的位置来反省哲学的封闭，重新肯定并打开哲学的未来。因此德里达就反而不认同福柯以疯狂、勒维纳斯从它者的非暴力对哲学的超越，反而为哲学本身的合理性辩护。 但同时，德里达确实又借助于马拉美、布朗肖、阿尔托等人的文学写作找到了一个“非位置”（non-lieu），通过追踪这些作家写作的痕迹，为哲学找到了它的“它者”，而这之间的关系就是延异。这延异既不是黑格尔把死转化为否定的差异--巴塔耶的写作对死之嘲笑与献祭之绝对耗尽的发现就转向肯定，也不是海德格尔借助死来撑开的存在论差异--在布朗肖与勒维纳斯那里，死是不可能的、匿名与中性的，是对它者与它者带来的暴力。一旦符号的书写不再受"在场"及"在场-缺席"游戏的支配，就形成了德里达后来所说的“不可决断性”。 我们这些简单的介绍可能会有误导，与德里达的相遇还有一段长路要走，而且这本汉译的封面就把差异的法文写成了延异，我们还有些太急切了。如同这本书的翻译，张宁女士以其罕见的勇气与惊人的准确为我们带来了一份厚重的“礼物”，但如果时间还更充裕些，较对的次数还更多一些，里面的错误会更少，比如说明显的打印错误，人名的不一致，有些句子欠通畅等。但这本书实在太重要了，尤其是德里达对象形文字的梦想与心灵书写的发现已经为我们指明了一条东西方相遇的通道，能让他者走向这条通道的人有福了。 如果真正的心灵书写都是书写希望并等待那要来的事件，那么让我们阅读此书如同德里达所钟爱的诗人雅毕斯的《问题之书》吧： “希望：下一页。不要合上书。 我已经翻过了书的每一页，但没有找到希望 或许希望正是书。”

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 This book brings together for the first time five recent essays by Jacques Derrida, which advance his reflections on many issues: lying, perjury, forgiveness, confession, the profession of faith, and, most recently, cruelty, sovereignty, and capital punishment. Strongly linked by their attention to "performatives" and the "as if," the essays show the necessity of thinking beyond the category of acts that are possible for a subject. Derrida argues forcefully that thought must engage with the im-possible, that is, the order of the unforeseeable event, the absolute future still to come. This acute awareness of the limits of performative programs informs the essays throughout and attunes them closely to events of a world undergoing "globalization." The first essay, "History of the Lie," reviews some classic and modern definitions of the lie (Augustine, Rousseau, Kant, Koyr茅, Arendt), while renewing questions about what is called lying, as distinguished from other forms of nontruth. This inventive analysis is followed by "Typewriter Ribbon," which examines at length the famous lie recounted by Rousseau in his Confessions, when he perjured himself by accusing another of his own crime. Paul de Man's reading of this textual event is at the center of Derrida's patient, at times seriously funny analyses. "Le parjure, Perhaps" engages with a remarkable novel by Henri Thomas that fictionalizes the charge of perjury brought against Paul de Man in the 1950s. Derrida's extraordinary fineness as a reader and thinker of fiction here treats, to profound effect, the "fatal experience of perjury." The two final essays, "The University Without Condition" and "Psychoanalysis Searches the States of Its Soul," address the institutions of the university and of psychoanalysis as sites from which to resist and deconstruct the nontruth or phantasm of sovereignty. For the university, the principle of truth remains at the core of its resistance; for psychoanalysis, there is the obligation to remain true to what may be, Derrida suggests, its specific insight: into psychic cruelty. Resistance to the sovereign cruelty of the death penalty is just one of the stakes indicated by the last essay, which is the text of a keynote address to the "States General of Psychoanalysis" held in Paris, July 2000. Especially for this volume, Derrida has written "Provocation: Forewords," which reflects on the title Without Alibiwhile taking up questions about relations between deconstruction and America. This essay-foreword also responds to the event of this book, which Peggy Kamuf in her introduction presents as event of resistance. Without Alibijoins two other books by Derrida that Kamuf has translated for Stanford University Press: Points . . .: Interviews, 1974-1994(1994) and Resistances of Psychoanalysis(1998).

简介："Terror and the Sublime in Art and Critical Theory penetrates the dense historical knots binding terror, power, and the aesthetic sublime. Through rigorous critical studies of major works of post-World War II and contemporary culture, the eleven collected essays trace transformations in art and critical theory in the aftermath of Auschwitz and Hiroshima. Critically engaging with the work of continental philosophers Theodor W. Adorno, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-Francois Lyotard and contemporary artists Joseph Beuys, Damien Hirst, and Boaz Arad, the book confronts the shared cultural conditions that made Auschwitz and Hiroshima possible and offers searching meditations on the structure and meaning of the traumatic historical "event." Gene Ray argues that globalization cannot be separated from the collective tasks of working through historical genocide. Bringing his conclusions to bear on the trauma of September 11 and the subsequent invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, he provocatively argues that the current US-led War on Terror must be grasped as a globalized inability tomourn."--BOOK JACKET.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 While rewriting was hardly new to literary production, in the 20th century it became more calculated and self-conscious than during previous periods. Perhaps epitomizing this phenomenon are the French literary figures of Marguerite Duras, Annie Ernaux, and Marie Redonnet, each of who repeatedly reconfigured their own texts. Here, Jelenik (French, The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina) examines the rewriting performed by Duras, Ernaux, and Redonnet by drawing on the theoretical work of Ferdinand de Saussure, Roland Barthes, Mikhail Bakhtin, Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva, Freidrich Nietzsche, and Emile Benveniste in order to reveal rewriting as a means of reconfiguring the self, social classes, and language itself.

简介： Présentation de l'éditeurVoici le premier ouvrage de Jacques Derrida. Alors étudiant de philosophie à l'Ecole normale supérieure, en 1953-54, il proposa une lecture de l'?uvre de Husserl en y suivant, comme un fil directeur, le thème de la genèse. Il s'agissait alors d'analyser les difficultés et les remaniements provoqués dans la pensée du fondateur de la phénoménologie par la prise en compte du temps, du devenir et de l'histoire, tant dans la constitution du sujet transcendantal que pour la production intentionnelle du sens de ses objets, notamment des objets scientifiques. Le passage de la constitution statique à la constitution génétique de l'ego fut certes programmé et assumé par Husserl : ce n'en était pas moins une nécessité périlleuse pour le projet phénoménologique lui-même.Cette interprétation systématique ne tente jamais de réduire une tension, voire une certaine hétérogénéité à l'intérieur du discours phénoménologique. Elle permet aussi de reconstituer quelques traits du champ philosophique, voire philosophico-politique fran?ais dans lequel Jacques Derrida élabore ses premiers travaux. Tout en donnant un aper?u sur l'état de la pensée phénoménologique à cette époque (Levinas, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Ric?ur, Tran-Duc-Thao) et sur les influences qu'elle exerce ou subit alors, cet ouvrage annonce aussi la problématique et le style des questions " déconstructrices " que Derrida développera dans de nombreux ouvrages entre 1962 et 1990.Deux d'entre eux furent consacrés à Husserl et publiés dans la même collection : Introduction à L'origine de la géométrie, 1962 (3e éd. 1990), et La voix et le phénomène, 1967 (5e éd. 1989). Ils constituent avec ce volume un ensemble indissociable.

简介：Hegemony: A Realist Analysisis a new and original approach to this important concept. It presents a theoretical history of the use of hegemony in a range of work starting with a discussion of Gramsci and Russian Marxism and going on to look at more recent applications. It examines the current debates and discusses the new direction to Marx made by Jacques Derrida, before outlining a critical realist/Marxist alternative. This book employs critical realist philosophy in an explanatory way to help clarify the concept of hegemony and its relation to societal processes. This work contributes to recent debates in social science and political philosophy, developing both the concept of hegemony itself, and the work of critical realism.

简介：Ayers (director, Center for Modern Poetry, University of Kent, UK) introduces the current state of literary theory by placing it in its social, historical, and institutional contexts. Beginning with the 1920s, he looks at the impact of the periods preceding the "theory movement" and reintroduces this movement from a contemporary perspective. He explores how and why popular criticisms developed, and considers their futures. Major influences on the development of modern theory are examined, among them the creation of university English and campus politics, the Cold War, the Anglo-Americanization of French and German theory, and the politics of contemporary historicist scholarship. Key figures, such as F. R. Leavis, Raymond Williams, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault, are also discussed. Annotation 漏2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

简介： The Philosophical Discourse of Modernity is a tour de force that has the immediacy and accessibility of the lecture form and the excitement of an encounter across, national cultural boundaries. Habermas takes up the challenge posed by the radical critique of reason in contemporary French poststructuralism.Tracing the odyssey of the philosophical discourse of modernity, Habermas's strategy is to return to those historical "crossroads" at which Hegel and the Young Hegelians, Nietzsche and Heidegger made the fateful decisions that led to this outcome. His aim is to identify and clearly mark out a road indicated but not taken: the determinate negation of subject-centered reason through the concept of communicative rationality. As The Theory of Communicative Action served to place this concept within the history of social theory, these lectures locate it within the history of philosophy. Habermas examines the odyssey of the philosophical discourse of modernity from Hegel through the present and tests his own ideas about the appropriate form of a postmodern discourse through dialogs with a broad range of past and present critics and theorists.The lectures on Georges Bataille, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, and Cornelius Castoriadis are of particular note since they are the first fruits of the recent cross-fertilization between French and German thought. Habermas's dialogue with Foucault - begun in person as the first of these lectures were delivered in Paris in 1983 culminates here in two appreciative yet intensely argumentative lectures. His discussion of the literary-theoretical reception of Derrida in America - launched at Cornell in 1984 - issues here in a long excursus on the genre distinction between philosophy and literature. The lectures were reworked for the final time in seminars at Boston College and first published in Germany in the fall of 1985.Jürgen Habermas is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Frankfurt. The Philosophical Discourse of Modernity is included in the series Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought, edited by Thomas McCarthy.

简介：Gadamer on Celan makes all of Hans-Georg Gadamer's published writings on Paul Celan's poetry available in English for the first time. Gadamer's commentaries on Celan's work are explicitly meant for a general audience, and they are further testimony to Celan's growing importance in world literature since the Second World War. Celan's poetry has attracted the attention of many well-known figures, including Maurice Blanchot, Jacques Derrida, Edmond Jabe's, Otto Poggeler, and George Steiner. As Steiner has said, "It will take a long time for our sensibilities to apprehend poetry of these dimensions and this radicality". Gadamer's commentaries will help readers to listen to Celan's poetry, and to become acquainted with his only book-length commentary on a poet, using the best example of Gadamer's thinking on the relationship of philosophy and poetry. This book also contains a translation of Who Am I and Who Are You? the centerpiece of Gadamer's most important philosophical project since the publication of Truth and Method (1960). Who Am I and Who Are You? demonstrates Gadamer's continual engagement with the key figures of twentieth-century thought, and his responsiveness to the challenges of modernist art and its various affronts to hermeneutics.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 This collection of five essays reflects encounters between one of the most influential philosophers of the later twentieth century and the poet who probably most clearly reflects the European experience of the time. Derrida's commentary on Celan's poetics ranges from 1986 to 2003, serving as application of several of Derrida's key ideas to the texts. Derrida explores the signature and its singularity, the trace, temporal structures of futurity and what is "to come," the multiplicity of language and questions of translation, speech acts such as testimony and promising as well as lying, the nature of the impossible and the question of the poem as speaking for the wholly other, beyond knowledge. Always challenging, Derrida's essays reflect his growing maturity and confidence in his themes across the last twenty years or so of his life, and in essence reveal his increasing commitment to responsibility.

Themes central to all ofDerrida's writings thread the intense confrontation between the most famousphilosopher of our time and the Jewish poet writing in German who, perhapsmore powerfully than any other, has testified to the European experience ofthe twentieth century.They include the date or signature and its singularity; the notion of the trace;temporal structures of futurity and the to come; the multiplicity of languageand questions of translation; such speech acts as testimony and promising, butalso lying and perjury; the possibility of the impossible; and, above all, the questionof the poem as addressed and destined beyond knowledge, seeking to speak toand for the irreducibly other.The memory of encounters with thinkers who have also engaged Celan's workanimates these writings, which include a brilliant dialogue between twointerpretative modes-hermeneutics and deconstruction. Derrida's approach toa poem is a revelation on many levels, from the most concrete ways of reading-for example, his analysis of a sequence of personal pronouns-to the mostsweeping imperatives of human existence (and Derrida's writings are alwaysa study in the imbrication of such levels). Above all, he voices the call toresponsibility in the ultimate line of Celan's poem: The world is gone,I must carry you,which sounds throughout the book's final essay like a refrain. Only two of the texts in this volume do not appear here in English for the first time. Of these, Schibboleth has been entirely retranslated and has been set following Derrida's own instructions for publication in French; A Self-Unsealing Poetic Textwas substantially rewritten by Derrida himself and basically appears here as the translation of a new text. Jacques Derrida's most recent books in English translation include Counterpath: Traveling with Jacques Derrida (with Catherine Malabou). He died in Paris on October 8, 2004. Thomas Dutoit teaches at the Universit de Paris 7. He translated Aporias and edited On the Name, both by Jacques Derrida.

简介： In Basic Concepts, Heidegger claims that "Being is the most worn-out" and yet also that Being "remains constantly available." Santiago Zabala radicalizes the consequences of these little known but significant affirmations. Revisiting the work of Jacques Derrida, Reiner Schürmann, Jean-Luc Nancy, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Ernst Tugendhat, and Gianni Vattimo, he finds these remains of Being within which ontological thought can still operate. Being is an event, Zabala argues, a kind of generosity and gift that generates astonishment in those who experience it. This sense of wonder has fueled questions of meaning for centuries-from Plato to the present day. Postmetaphysical accounts of Being, as exemplified by the thinkers of Zabala's analysis, as well as by Nietzsche, Dewey, and others he encounters, don't abandon Being. Rather, they reject rigid, determined modes of essentialist thought in favor of more fluid, malleable, and adaptable conceptions, redefining the pursuit and meaning of philosophy itself.

简介：Henry James and the Philosophical Novel breaks fresh ground by examining James's unique position as a philosophical novelist, closely associated with the climate of ideas generated by his brother, William and his father, the elder Henry. The book offers a detailed consideration of story-telling as a mode of philosophical enquiry, showing how a range of distinguished thinkers have relied on fictional narrative as a vital technique for formulating and clarifying their ideas. At the same time, it investigates (with close reference to his novels) the affiliations between James's practice as a novelist and the epistemological, moral and linguistic concerns pursued by members of the Phenomenological movement. The study brings to light striking similarities between James's later works and the philosophical project of Merleau-Ponty; it emphasises James's growing attraction to and versatility with deconstructive strategies such as those later employed by Jacques Derrida.
