Series: The Frontiers of Theory

In two volumes, Geoffrey Bennington and Kas Saghafi present the majority of Jacques Derrida's untranslated, and previously uncollected, essays and interviews. Dating mostly from 1992 to 2004, these writings offer a fuller picture of Derrida's biography, theoretical engagements and the stakes of his social and political investments. In the interviews in Essays, Interviews, and Interventions by Jacques Derrida: Thinking What Comes, Volume 1, Derrida proposes the foundation of a new European political culture, discusses the strengths of Nelson Mandela, and reflects on the archive. He also considers his experience of political life, his relationship to institutions (particularly the Collge international de philosophie), and his views on 'intellectualism'. Whether writing about public health, Palestine, or the notion of the promise, Derrida is razor-sharp and impassioned. These volumes allow significant insight into his mature thought.

Reviews for Thinking What Comes, Volume 1: Essays, Interviews, and Interventions

This is a very welcome and timely addition to Derrida's work in English. Bennington, Saghafi and their team of translators have made accessible these hard-to-find texts in which the philosopher clearly expounds his thinking on issues that have lost none of their urgency: hospitality and immigration, the future of Europe, the rights of Palestinians, censorship of the archive, and deconstruction as a 'thinking of what comes'. --Peggy Kamuf, University of Southern California
