Radical Atheism presents a profound new reading of the influential French philosopher Jacques Derrida. Against the prevalent notion that there was an ethical or religious turn in Derridas thinking, H gglund argues that a radical atheism informs Derridas work from beginning to end. Proceeding from Derridas insight into the constitution of time, H gglund demonstrates how Derrida rethinks the condition of identity, ethics, religion, and political emancipation in accordance with the logic of radical atheism. H gglund challenges other major interpreters of Derridas work and offers a compelling account of Derridas thinking on life and death, good and evil, self and other. Furthermore, H gglund does not only explicate Derridas position but also develops his arguments, fortifies his logic, and pursues its implications. The result is a groundbreaking deconstruction of the perennial philosophical themes of time and desire as well as pressing contemporary issues of sovereignty and democracy.About the Author:Martin H gglund is a Charlotte W.
