Martin Hagglund
Edit ProfilePolitics
Developing a deconstructive account of time, Hägglund shows how Derrida rethinks the constitution of identity, the violence of ethics, the desire of religion, and political emancipation in accordance with the condition of temporal finitude.
Views
Responding to the book, Laclau wrote that Hägglund"s "analysis reaches what we could call the zero degree of deconstruction, the point at which deconstructive logics show their internal potential and cannot be assimilated to any of the various discourses—ethicist, religious, and so forth—which have tried to hegemonize it" and Jonathan Culler called it "a decisive rejoinder to those seeking to capture deconstruction for religion.”.
Membership
He is also a member of the Harvard Society of Fellows, serving as a Junior Fellow from 2009 to 2012.
