Publisher Description:

Explores the biographical, historical and philosophical connections between Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault

Derrida and Foucault are unquestionably two of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. Both share a similar motivation to challenge our fundamental structures of meaning - in texts, political structures, and epistemic and discursive practices - in order to inspire new ways of thinking.

Between Foucault and Derrida explores the notorious Cogito debate and includes: the central articles, an important piece by Jean-Marie Beyssade, along with a letter Foucault wrote to Beyssade in response - both these pieces available for the first time in English translation. In the second part of the book, 10 essays written by some of the most well-known scholars working in contemporary continental philosophy address the various philosophical intersections and divergences of these two profoundly important thinkers.

  • The first collection of the central essays involved in the Cogito debate between Foucault and Derrida
  • Includes the first English translations of Jean-Marie Beyssade's important 1973 article on the debate and Foucault's letter in response to it
  • Some of the best-known scholars working in continental philosophy today examine where Foucault and Derrida converge and diverge, and how they ultimately shaped each other's projects
