Influential exploration of the idea of friendship and its political consequences
Jacques Derrida was Director of Studies at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris.
As Jacques Derrida shows in The Politics of Friendship, many great
meditations on friendship-by Cicero, by Montaigne, by Bataille, by
Blanchot-are also meditations on mourning ... For Derrida, death
lays bare the essential separateness of the friend not only in
death but also in life.
