Preview Specters of Marx: The State of the Debt, The Work of Mourning & the New International

Description:
Written in the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall and within the context of a critique of a ''new world order'' that proclaims the death of Marx and Marxism, Jacques Derrida undertakes a reading of Marx's ''spectropoetics'' -- his obsession with ghosts, specters and spirits. Derrida argues that there is more than one spirit of Marx and that it is the responsibility of his heirs -- we are all heirs of Marx -- to sift through the possible legacies, the possible spirits, reaffirming one and not the other. He leads beyond the deafening disavowal of Marx today, a disavowal he sees as an attempt to exorcise Marx's ghost. Specters of Marx represents renowned philosopher Jacques Derrida's first major work on Marx and his definitive entry into social and political philosophy.
