Derrida on Time
Derrida on Time by Joanna Hodge, published by Taylor & Francis Group on December 9, 2010, is a detailed exploration of the concept of time in Jacques Derrida’s philosophy. This edition spans 272 pages and is presented in English. Hodge investigates how temporality is a central aspect of Derrida’s thought, drawing on a diverse range of his texts to illuminate this theme.
Readers will find a thorough analysis that compares Derrida’s views on time with those of notable philosophers such as Kant, Husserl, and Heidegger. The book argues that Derrida’s non-linear understanding of time is crucial for understanding his approach to the interplay between past and present, as well as the connections between biography and literature. Additionally, Hodge delves into themes of death, touch, and transcendence, suggesting that examining these elements through the lens of temporality reveals greater continuity in Derrida’s work than has been previously acknowledged.
Official synopsis Publisher
This is a comprehensive investigation into the theme of time in the work of Jacques Derrida and shows how temporality is one of the hallmarks of his thought. Drawing on a wide array of Derrida’s texts, Joanna Hodge:
- compares and contrasts Derrida’s arguments concerning time with those Kant, Husserl, Augustine, Heidegger, Levinas, Freud, and Blanchot
- argues that Derrida’s radical understanding of time as non-linear or irregular is essential to his aim of blurring the distinction between past and present, biography and literature, philosophical and religious meditation, and the nature of the self
- explores the themes of death, touch and transcendence to argue that if considered under the theme of temporality there is more continuity to Derrida’s thought than previously considered.
