DANGEROUS IDENTIFICATIONS: an exchange between jacques derrida and philippe lacoue-labarthe

DANGEROUS IDENTIFICATIONS: an exchange between jacques derrida and philippe lacoue-labarthe When friends engage with each other's work, they are exposed to the doubling that has infected philosophical discourse since its beginnings, imbuing it with a chronic instability. Such is Lacoue-Labarthe's vision of philosophy's tendency to madness, epitomised by the way in which the doubling occurring in Nietzsche (Zarathustra) doubles that of Plato (Socrates). By examining the ways in which the problem of doubling, or dangerous identifications, is formulated, avoided or confronted in the mutual readings of Lacoue-Labarthe (“In the Name of”) and Derrida (“Desistance”), it will be possible to shed some light on the anxiety of influence that underlies late twentieth-century philosophy. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Angelaki: Journal of Theoretical Humanities Taylor & Francis

Abstract

When friends engage with each other's work, they are exposed to the doubling that has infected philosophical discourse since its beginnings, imbuing it with a chronic instability. Such is Lacoue-Labarthe's vision of philosophy's tendency to madness, epitomised by the way in which the doubling occurring in Nietzsche (Zarathustra) doubles that of Plato (Socrates). By examining the ways in which the problem of doubling, or dangerous identifications, is formulated, avoided or confronted in the mutual readings of Lacoue-Labarthe (“In the Name of”) and Derrida (“Desistance”), it will be possible to shed some light on the anxiety of influence that underlies late twentieth-century philosophy.
