Derrida's Politics of Friendship

25 years after the publication of Derrida’s Politics of Friendship (Politiques de l’amitié, 1994), this edited collection gathers 23 critical chapters that revisit this underappreciated text. Emerging out of Derrida’s seminars in the late 1980s and 1990s, Politics of Friendship critiques fraternity as a model of political community and its prominence throughout a range of central figures in the history of philosophy, including Aristotle, Plato, Kant, Nietzsche, Heidegger and Schmitt. Engaging closely with Derrida’s text, the contributors analyse, extend and critique the work. They reconsider the place this book occupies in Derrida’s political philosophy and its potential for contemporary politics, when the promises and perils of political friendship have reappeared. This volume brings together experts working across a range of disciplines, including philosophy, modern languages, political theory, comparative literature and history. With this multidisciplinary approach, this book explores the potential of Derrida’s work for understanding politics, community, fraternity, friendship and our relation to others today.
