书籍简介

雅克-德里达用《纽约时报》的话说，"如果不是哲学家，也可能是世界上有名的哲学家"。他的名字一被提及，就常常引发争议。但他也激发了来自辉煌事业的尊重，而且，在许多与他同事和同行的人中，他激发了友谊。哀悼之作》是一本在他去世后纪念这些友谊的文集。这里收集了一些人物去世后写的吊唁信、纪念文章、悼词、葬礼演说等文本： 罗兰-巴特、保罗-德-曼、米歇尔-福柯、路易-阿尔都塞、埃德蒙-贾伯斯、路易-马林、萨拉-科夫曼、吉尔-德勒兹、伊曼纽尔-列维纳斯、让-弗朗索瓦-利奥塔、马克斯-洛雷乌、让-玛丽-贝努瓦、约瑟夫-里德尔和米歇尔-塞尔维-埃米尔。德里达用他的话语见证了友谊的独特性和每种关系的独特性。

在每一个案例中，他都敏锐地意识到在谈论死者时涉及的策略、品味和道德责任问题，以及为自己的目的、政治算计、个人恩怨和赎罪而利用这一场合的风险。这本书不仅仅是一本纪念性演讲集，它不仅揭示了德里达与过去四分之一世纪中一些杰出的法国思想家的关系，也揭示了德里达整个作品中一些重要的主题--悼念、"死亡的礼物"、时间、记忆和友谊本身。"在他对他的研究对象的工作和他们对他的影响的全神贯注中，这本书也对德里达自己在法国哲学史上的生活提供了一个犹豫和切入的复述。书中有一些富有启发性和趣味性的轶事，如利奥塔如何引导德里达开始使用文字处理机；保罗-德曼如何与德里达的儿子谈及爵士乐的知识。任何一个仍然认为德里达是个爱说笑的双关语的人，都会发现这种怨恨的偏见在阅读这部美丽的作品时无法存活。"

史蒂文-普尔，《卫报》 "对友谊、对共同的职业和业余爱好以及对哲学和历史的惊人的模拟冥想"。出版商周刊

Jacques Derrida is, in the words of the New York Times, "perhaps the world's most famous philosopher if not the only famous philosopher." He often provokes controversy as soon as his name is mentioned. But he also inspires the respect that comes from an illustrious career, and, among many who were his colleagues and peers, he inspired friendship. The Work of Mourning is a collection that honors those friendships in the wake of passing. Gathered here are texts letters of condolence, memorial essays, eulogies, funeral orations written after the deaths of well-known figures: Roland Barthes, Paul de Man, Michel Foucault, Louis Althusser, Edmond Jab\u00e8s, Louis Marin, Sarah Kofman, Gilles Deleuze, Emmanuel Levinas, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Lyotard, Max Loreau, Jean-Marie Benoist, Joseph Riddel, and Michel Servi\u00e8re. With his words, Derrida bears witness to the singularity of a friendship and to the absolute uniqueness of each relationship.

In each case, he is acutely aware of the questions of tact, taste, and ethical responsibility involved in speaking of the dead the risks of using the occasion for one's own purposes, political calculation, personal vendetta, and the expiation of guilt. More than a collection of memorial addresses, this volume sheds light not only on Derrida's relation to some of the most prominent French thinkers of the past quarter century but also on some of the most important themes of Derrida's entire oeuvre-mourning, the "gift of death," time, memory, and friendship itself. "In his rapt attention to his subjects' work and their influence upon him, the book also offers a hesitant and tangential retelling of Derrida's own life in French philosophical history. There are illuminating and playful anecdotes how Lyotard led Derrida to begin using a word-processor; how Paul de Man talked knowledgeably of jazz with Derrida's son. Anyone who still thinks that Derrida is a facetious punster will find such resentful prejudice unable to survive a reading of this beautiful work."

Steven Poole, Guardian "Strikingly simpa meditations on friendship, on shared vocations and avocations and on philosophy and history." Publishers Weekly
