Verge of Philosophy, Paperback by Sallis, John, ISBN 0226734315, ISBN-13 9780226734316, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The Verge of Philosophy is both an exploration of the limits of philosophy and a memorial for John Sallis&;s longtime friend and interlocutor Jacques Derrida. The centerpiece of th 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. Sallis&;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. &;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
