<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Prodigiously influential, Jacques Derrida gave rise to a comprehensive rethinking of the basic concepts and categories of Western philosophy in the latter part of the twentieth century, with writings central to our understanding of language, meaning, identity, ethics and values.</p><p>In 1993, a conference was organized around the question, 'Whither Marxism?', and Derrida was invited to open the proceedings. His plenary address, 'Specters of Marx', delivered in two parts, forms the basis of this book. Hotly debated when it was first published, a rapidly changing world and world politics have scarcely dented the relevance of this book.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>"Its importance within the Derridean canon cannot be overemphasized ... The text that scholars turn to ... to understand the politics of deconstruction." -</strong> <em>Southern Humanities Review</em></p> <p><strong>"One of Derrida's best books." -</strong> <em>New Statesman and Society</em></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Jacques Derrida</strong> (1930-2004) was born in Algeria. He drew on psychoanalysis, Marxist theory, and Heidegger's philosophy to become a central figure in intellectual life in the latter part of the twentieth century.</p>
