Summary:

Seven eminent authors, all known for their work in deconstruction, address the millennial issue of our " futures, " " promises, " " prophecies, " " projects, " and " possibilities" - including the possibility that there may be no " future" at all. Speculative in every sense, these essays are marked by a common concern for the act of reading as it is practiced in the work of Jacques Derrida. The contributors- Geoffrey Bennington, Paul Davies, Peter Fenves, Werner Hamacher, Jean-Michel Rabaté , Elisabeth Weber, and Jacques Derrida himself- study a range of authors, including Pascal, Kant, Hegel, Leibniz, Marx, Benjamin, Koyré , Arendt, and Lacan.

Notes:
