Publisher's Synopsis
Drawing on the relationship between Derrida and Levinas and on the unresolved tension between their philosophical corpuses, this book aims to offer new possible interpretations on the future of democracy. What philosophical and political ideals can emerge from a parallel reading of these two acclaimed thinkers, and from their 'philosophical alliance'? This volume attempts to re-imagine and to re-engage the realm of politics, by offering new perspectives on the multiple crises that traverse the contemporary age. This book includes the following interviews: Penser aujourd'hui with Emmanuel Levinas by Catherine Chalier Une éthique de la mémoire. Un entretien à Yad Vashem with Jacques Derrida by Michal Ben Natftali Accueil, éthique, droit, politique with Jacques Derrida by Michel Wieviorka Une hospitalité sans condition with Jacques Derrida
