Robert Trumbull

From Life to Survival

Derrida, Freud, and the Future of Deconstruction

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book argues for deconstruction's ongoing relevance, showing how Jacques Derrida's deep engagement with Freud across the full trajectory of his work, in particular his engagement with Freud's notion of life and death drives, supplies the key way into Derrida's recasting of life as life death and, in turn, survival.
