Research and Markets: Derrida and Law - Order Report Now

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ff4f06/derrida_and_law) has
announced the addition of the "Derrida and Law" report to their offering.

This volume gathers together sixteen seminal articles, all written by leading
scholars, which articulate and effectuate the influence of Derrida's scholarship
on the field of law. The articles included in this collection are underpinned by
the authors' shared belief that the intellectual challenges posed by Derrida's
work to legal scholarship are as challenging as they are pressing and as
profound as they are inescapable. In addition to a thorough introduction
addressing salient aspects of Jacques Derrida's engagement with law, this book
comes with an extensive bibliography of sources in English. This provides the
reader with a carefully selected list of more than one hundred texts, all of
which serve as introductory pathways to Derrida's philosophy and in particular
to the interaction between Derrida and law.

A fine reminder of the trans-disciplinary influence of Jacques Derrida's
thought, this landmark collection is destined to generate substantial interest
in philosophy departments and law schools alike.
