More about the book

The exploration of Jacques Derrida's concept of auto-immunity reveals its deep connection to Carl Schmitt's political philosophy, particularly following the events of September 11th. This biological metaphor serves as a pivotal framework for Derrida's later works, showcasing his intricate deconstructive approach. By analyzing texts like "Force of Law" and The Politics of Friendship, the author highlights how auto-immunity encapsulates key themes of undecidability and antinomy, ultimately positioning it as a culmination of Derrida's philosophical evolution.
