| Contents | Prefacing the antiphon: towards an animal theology -- Introduction (Aporetology) -- CHAPTER I. Aporia and the decisions of undecidability: Derrida's logic of the paradox and the question of violence (only where there is undecidability can there be decisions). Out of Socrates' aporia: beyond shaming. Out of Plato's pharmakon: beyond scapegoating. Out of the dangerous supplement of Levi-Strauss' writing lesson: beyond bordering. Out of Levinas' Totality and infinity: beyond warring -- CHAPTER II. Aporia and the responsibilities of dissemination: Derrida's metaphysics of excess and the question of responsibility (only where there is dissemination can there be responsibility). From Husserl's signs: to responsible givings madness and impossibility. From Heidegger's times: to responsible givings oblivion and mourning. From Hegel's prefaces: to responsible aleatory's not binding and not being bound. From Nietzsche's perspectives: to responsible givings surprise and generosity -- CHAPTER III.; Aporia and the ethical subject of difference: Derrida's psychology of the de-centered subjectile and the question of the person (only where there is difference within the ethical subject can there be a responsible choice-making person). From Heidegger's dasein to Derrida's person: the spectral subject. From Nietzsche's will to power to Derrida's person: the responsible subject. From Freud's unconscious to Derrida's person: the scryptal subject. From Saussure's arbitrary to Derrida's person: the messianic subject -- CHAPTER IV. Aporia and the justice of deconstruction: Derrida's epistemology of embracing uncertainty and the question of given justice (only when we have constant deconstructions of theories and laws can we be moving towards justice). Mourning the never enough of precedents: pregnant impossibility. Waiting for the never enough of time: the monstrous arrivant. Wandering in the never enough of knowledge: Abraham beyond Ulysses. By choosing to decide in the urgent instant: aporetic nativities -- CHAPTER V. Aporetic scapes (towards a Derridean theology). Without Caputo's "without". Wholly other than Crichley's Derrida (beyond Z̆iz̆ek's apropos). The unlimited responsibility of spilling ink (attending to what Searle can teach us). The scape of ipseity (Derrida's Hopkins) -- Conclusion: aporetic faith. |
