We are plunged into the different worlds in which Derrida lived and worked: pre-independence Algeria, the microcosm of the Ecole Normale Superieure, the cluster of structuralist thinkers, and the turbulent events of 1968 and after. We meet the remarkable series of leading writers and philosophers with whom Derrida struck up a friendship: Louis Althusser, Emmanuel Levinas, Jean Genet, and Helene Cixous, among others. We also witness an equally long series of often brutal polemics fought over crucial issues with thinkers such as Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, John R. Searle, and Jurgen Habermas, as well as several controversies that went far beyond academia, the best known of which concerned Heidegger and Paul de Man. We follow a series of courageous political commitments in support of Nelson Mandela, illegal immigrants, and gay marriage. And we watch as a concept -- deconstruction -- takes wing and exerts an extraordinary influence way beyond the philosophical world, on literary studies, architecture, law, theology, feminism, queer theory, and postcolonial studies. In writing this compelling and authoritative biography, Benoit Peeters talked to over a hundred individuals who knew and worked with Derrida. He is also the first person to make use of the huge personal archive built up by Derrida throughout his life and of his extensive correspondence. Peeters' book gives us a new and deeper understanding of the man who will perhaps be seen as the major philosopher of the second half of the twentieth century."

"ABSTRAKDemokrasi saat ini bukan hanya sebagai sebuah prosedural melainkan bagaimana demokrasi menghadirkan proses yang demokratis. Bagaimana cara itu terwujud menjadi tugas filsafat atau lebih spesifik tugas Filsafat Politik. Derrida, telah memberikan satu ajaran tentang demokrasi, yaitu dengan merubah demokrasi bukan hanya saat ini saja melainkan untuk saat yang akan datang, bagaimana caranya dengan cara menerima ?the other?. The other yang muncul sebagai kaum artikulatif ekstrem dalam pengertian sederhana adalah constitutive outside yang berada diluar diri kita sebagai pihak yang memaksakan pemikirannya terhadap orang lain dengan cara-cara yang melampaui batas kemampuan penerimaan masyarakat pada umumnya. Namun bukan berarti hal tersebut harus sepenuhnya di tolak melainkan harus di terima dan hal tersebutlah yang menjadi point bagi demokrasi yang menerima ruang gerak the others.

ABSTRACT

Contemporary democracy should not be perceived as a procedural concept, but more like how it can conceive a more democratic process (democratization). It is the responsibility of political philosophy to make it come into being. With his thought about democracy, Derrida determine to elucidate the concept of democracy as something that is always to come, with a will to accepting the others. To put it in the simplest way, the other as the articulate extreme other is our constitutive outside that stands to insist their every thought in many ways crossing what generally considered as agreeable within society. This condition should not to be completely refutes as it is the very point to attain a more democratic condition in accepting the others."

"Dibandingkan dengan topik lain seperti politik, keadilan, dan kesetaraan maka topik cinta sedikit sekali menjadi objek kajian yang dikaji secara filosofis. Ada konsepsi yang diyakini secara umum bahwa cinta terkait dengan hal-hal yang bersifat irasional. Filsafat mensyaratkan penyelidikan yang ketat dan sistematis, dan karena cinta dianggap sebagai bagian dari afeksi yang instingtual kemudian dianggap asing bagi filsafat. Cinta lebih banyak dikaji sebagai kajian di dalam psikoanalisis. Di dalam penelitian ini, pemikiran Alain Badiou dikaji dengan menggunakan metode naratif-deskriptif untuk mendemonstrasikan bahwa cinta adalah rasional dan dapat dikaji secara filosofis. Hasil analisis dan sintesis yang didasarkan pada filsafat yang dibangun Alain Badiou dapat disimpulkan bahwa cinta bukanlah sesuatu yang bersifat irasional. Cinta adalah rasional karena mampu memberikan penghayatan bagi cara manusia memahami eksistensinya di dunia. Cinta sejalan dengan filsafat dan karena itu cinta bersifat filosofis. Lebih jauh lagi, cinta juga mampu menghadirkan perubahan dalam tataran personal karena jatuh cinta memberikan penghayatan akan dunia yang sama sekali baru. Di dalam tataran yang lebih jauh, cinta juga mampu memberikan perubahan melampaui tataran personal karena kemungkinan cinta beririsan dengan hal lain seperti politik. Penelitian ini memberikan pemahaman baru bahwa cinta memiliki dimensi yang jauh lebih luas melampaui pemahaman yang umum selama ini.

Love received very little attention in philosophical inquiry compared to other topics such as politics, justice, and equality. There is a widely accepted conception that love is related to irrational things. Philosophy requires systematic and rigorous investigation, and because love is considered a part of instinctual affection, it makes love foreign to philosophy. Love is more appropriate to be an object of psychoanalysis. In this study, Alain Badiou’s system of thought is reviewed using a narrative-descriptive method to demonstrate that love is rational and philosophical. The analysis and synthesis of Alain Badiou’s system of thought conclude that love is not irrational. Love is logical because it provides meaning for people to understand their existence. Additionally, love can initiate change on a personal level because love can give a new meaning to how people live in the world. In a broader context, love can create change transcending the personal level because love can intersect with other things, such as politics. This study gives new insight into love, highlighting that love has broader dimensions beyond the general conception that many believe. "

"The work of Jacques Derrida has transformed our understanding of a range of disciplines in the humanities through its questioning of some of the basic tenets of western metaphysics. This volume is a trans-disciplinary collection dedicated to his work. The assembled contributions, on law, literature, ethics, gender, politics and psychoanalysis, constitute an investigation of the role of Derrida's work in the humanities, present and future. The volume is distinguished by work on some of his most recent writings, and contains Derrida's own address on "the future of the humanities"."
