Remains – Jacques Derrida
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
978-1-4744-0032-9 (ISBN)
In a very late essay, “Remain(s)—The Master, or the Supplement of Infinity,” authored just two years before his death, Derrida conjoins two registers or fields of research, bringing together his early and his late work. In this complex and illuminating work, an analogy is drawn between two vastly different “cultures”—the Greco-European Onto-theo-phenomenology and the Vedic Brahmanic of India. Commenting on the work of eminent Indianist scholar Charles Malamoud, Derrida argues for the significance of the notion 0f the remainder (reste) as a key word in his deconstructive vocabulary. This volume is devoted to elucidating Derrida’s enigmatic essay and providing much-needed context.
Pleshette DeArmitt was Associate Professor and Chair of Philosophy at the University of Memphis. She conducted research in contemporary French thought, feminist theory, and psychoanalysis. Her articles on Derrida, Kofman, and Kristeva were published in Mosaic, Philosophy Today, Research in Phenomenology, and The Southern Journal of Philosophy. She was the author of The Right to Narcissism: A Case for An Im-possible Self-Love (2014), co-editor of Sarah Kofman’s Corpus (2008) and a memorial issue of Epoché on Derrida (2006). She also co-translated three essays by Derrida, “A Europe of Hope” (2006), “Aletheia,” (2010), and “Remain(s)—the Master, or the Supplement of Infinity.” Kas Saghafi is Professor of Philosophy at University of Memphis. He researches and teaches in contemporary French thought. He is the author of two books, The World after the End of the World (2020) and Apparitions—Of Derrida's Other (2010) and numerous articles. He is co-editor, with Geoffrey Bennington, of a two-volume collection of Derrida’s writings entitled Thinking What Comes (2024). He has also co-translated, with Pleshette DeArmitt, four essays by Jacques Derrida.
