The centerpiece of the book is an extended examination of three sites in Derrida's thought: his interpretation of Heidegger regarding the privileging of the question; his account of the Platonic figure of the good; and his interpretation of Plato's discourse on the crucial notion of the chora, the originating space of the universe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSallis's reflections are given added weight--even poignancy--by his discussion of his many public and private philosophical conversations with Derrida over the decades of their friendship. This volume thus simultaneously serves to mourn and remember a friend and to push forward the deeply searching discussions that lie at the very heart of that friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"All of John Sallis's work is essential, but [this book] in particular is remarkable. . . . Sallis shows better than anyone I have ever read what it means to practice philosophy on the verge.\"--Walter Brogan, Villanova University\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47969702871191,"sku":"9780226734316","price":3353.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780226734316.webp?v=1782923425","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-verge-of-philosophy-9780226734316","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
