Publisher Description: Thinking judgment in relation to the work of Jean-Fran ois Lyotard Striving to contain that which comes before the law, that is in front of the law and also prior to it, how to judge Jean-Fran ois Lyotard then becomes perhaps a beneficial attempt for Derrida to explore humanity's rapport with judgment, origins, and naming. For how does one come to judge the author of the Differend? How does one abstain from judgment to accept the term pr jug s as suspending judgment and at once as taking into account the impossibility of speaking before the law, prior to naming or judging? If this task indeed seems insurmountable, it is the site where Lyotard's work itself is played out. Hence this sincere and intriguing essay presented by Jacques Derrida, published here for the first time in English. |
