Description

Written by Derrida scholars, philosophers, and classicists, Derrida and Antiquity analyses a dialogue with the ancient world in the work of one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century.

Through an analysis of Derrida's work it explores the relationship between modern philosophy and Plato, the role ancient concepts of democracy have played in modern political debates, and the place of antiquity in contemporary discussions about Europe, as well asinvestigating the influence that deconstruction has had on the study of classical literature, ancient philosophy, and early religion.

The volume is prefaced by a previously untranslated essay by Derrida, 'We Other Greeks'.
