Produktbeschreibung
Now in paperback, nine lectures from Jacques Derrida that challenge the influential Marxist distinction between thinking and acting. Theory and Practice is a series of nine lectures that Jacques Derrida delivered at the ÿcole Normale Supérieure in 1976 and 1977. The topic of âtheory and practiceâ? was associated above all with Marxist discourse and particularly the influential interpretation of Marx by Louis Althusser. Derridaâ¿s many questions to Althusser and other thinkers aim at unsettling the distinction between thinking and acting.   Derridaâ¿s investigations set out from Marxâ¿s âTheses on Feuerbach,â? in particular the eleventh thesis, which has often been taken as a mantra for the âend of philosophy,â? to be brought about by Marxist practice. Derrida argues, however, that Althusser has no such end in view and that his discourse remains resolutely philosophical, even as it promotes the theory/practice pair as primary values. This seminar also draws fascinating connections between Marxist thought and Heidegger and features Derridaâ¿s signature reconsideration of the dichotomy between doing and thinking. This text, available for the first time in English, shows that Derrida was doing important work on Marx long before Specters of Marx. As with the other volumes in this series, it gives readers an unparalleled glimpse into Derridaâ¿s thinking at its bestâ¿spontaneous, unpredictable, and groundbreaking.
