Popis: Derrida's Seminar “Life Death” operates, as if in advance motivated by its aftermath and as if countersigned by this name that does not appear—the name of Epicurus—a turn towards a non-productive, non-representational materialism, deprived in some way of ontological status, even non-ontologizable, triumphant, normative, dedicated to an economy of the cause. Nietzsche, antagonistic reader of Epicurus (Letter to Meneceus: “Accustom yourself to considering that death is nothing for us”)—is his screen, his substitute. Nietzsche, whose reading serves to close-open the great loops of Derrida’s seminar. It is a question, therefore, of turning over “Life Death” in search of the traces of the encounter Nietzsche-Epicurus, definitive, although invisible and silent, although almost illegible in the text of Derrida, of the relationship “life death.”
