The Motif of the Messianic: Law, Life, and Writing in Agamben's Reading of Derrida

by Arthur Willemse

This book explores the relationship between the works of Agamben and Jacques Derrida. Arthur Willemse explains how Agamben's thought renders Derridean terminology inoperative--by suspending the suspense of signification. He argues that this is Agamben's way of undoing a theological structure of thought that philosophy has unknowingly appropriated.
