Between Foucault and Derrida

Beschreibung

'This book is a careful analysis of the wide-ranging implications of this most unusual of encounters.' Elizabeth Grosz, Duke University 'These outstanding essays by leading scholars open up productive new ways of reading the Derrida-Foucault debate. This is an essential collection for all those interested in this epochal exchange between two of the twentieth century's greatest thinkers.' Paul Patton, University of New South Wales Derrida and Foucault are without question two of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. Both share a similar motivation to challenge our fundamental structures of meaning - in texts, political structures and epistemic and discursive practices - in order to inspire new ways of thinking. Between Foucault and Derrida explores the notorious 'Cogito' debate and includes the central articles of that debate. It also contains - for the first time in English translation - an important piece by Jean-Marie Beyssade along with a letter written by Foucault in reply. In addition, some of the most well-known scholars working in contemporary continental philosophy address the various philosophical intersections and divergences of these two profoundly important thinkers. Yubraj Aryal is Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Montreal and Visiting Scholar at New York University. Vernon W. Cisney is Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Gettysburg College. Nicolae Morar is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Environmental Studies at University of Oregon. Christopher Penfield recently received his PhD in Philosophy from Purdue University.
