Opis

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.
