Book Reviews of The Gift of Death (Religion and Postmodernism Series)
Book Review: This book seems like Jacques being Jacques.
Summary: 5 Stars
Derrida, as usual, is able to tease apart the conventional ways of thinking--in this case about the (im)possibility of ethics--and force us to think in a completely different way. I might disagree with his analysis of the ramifications of the ethical gesture explicated in Kierkegaard's "Fear and Trembling," but i can't say old Jack didn't make me think.
