The State of the Debt, the Work of Mourning and the New International
Omschrijving
This major new book from a renowned French philosopher represents his first important statement on Marx. Within the context of a critique of the new dogmatism and new world order that have proclaimed the death of Marxism, Derrida explores the seemingly haunted language used in Marx's The Manifesto of the Communist Party In 1993, Derrida opened a conference organized around the question 'Whither Marxism?’, and it is his plenary address that forms the basis of this book. Hotly debated then, a changing world and world politic have scarcely dented its relevance today.
