{"product_id":"derrida-and-technology-bjrn-sjstrand-9783030834098","title":"Derrida and Technology: Life, Politics, and Religion","description":"This book is the first monograph that takes a comprehensive approach to Jacques Derrida as a philosopher of technology. It refines and complements his mainstream image as a philosopher of language and deconstructionist of classical literary and philosophical texts. This volume outlines the key features of Derrida's alternative philosophy of technology, a philosophy which Sjtrand argues, avoids the problems associated with, on the one hand, a Heideggerian orientation, which completely separates thinking and technology and, on the other, an empirically oriented \"post-phenomenology\" that can be said to be hegemonic within the field today.\u003cbr\u003eBased on a sustained interpretation of Derrida, and a robust, coherent philosophy of technology, a \u003ci\u003ephenomenology of technology\u003c\/i\u003e is developed that, in a radical way, extends the concept of technology to cover the entire field of phenomenology. This places \u003ci\u003ethe technological\u003c\/i\u003e not in opposition to humanity, but rather always already in close proximity to man and, consequently, to life, ethics, politics, democracy and religion. Strikingly, this important aspect of Derrida's thinking is only rarely analyzed or discussed by his many exegetes. This text appeals to graduates and researchers working on Derrida, phenomenology, and the philosophy of technology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bjn Sjtrand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030834093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030834098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.45d","brand":"Bjn Sjtrand","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080204775679,"sku":"9783030834098","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f39f592e-3f27-43e7-85b2-04f399c18256.jpg?v=1685485495","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/derrida-and-technology-bjrn-sjstrand-9783030834098","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
