Description

Beginning with a reading of Plato’s Statesman, this work interrogates the relationship between life and being in Plato’s thought. It argues that in his later dialogues Plato discovers—or invents—a form of true or real life that transcends all merely biological life and everything that is commonly called life.This book also serves to Introduce a soon-to-be-published seminar by Jacques Derrida, titled "Life-Death," that offers a new side to Derrida's thought.
