The Self, the Other, and the Many: Jacques Derrida on Testimony

Mosaic 40 (2):165-179 (2007)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

This essays takes up the question whether the self constitutes the other (as Husserl believed) or whether the other institutes the self (as Levinas argues). It examines how Derrida’s concept of testimony and his work on the structure of the sign, leads us away from this debate into a necessary openness to plurality or community.
