"Radical Atheism" presents a profound new reading of the influential French philosopher Jacques Derrida. Against the prevalent notion that there was an ethical or religious 'turn' in Derrida's thinking, Hagglund argues that a radical atheism informs Derrida's work from beginning to end. Proceeding from Derrida's insight into the constitution of time, Hagglund demonstrates how Derrida rethinks the condition of identity, ethics, religion, and political emancipation in accordance with the logic of radical atheism. In doing so, he challenges other major interpreters of Derrida's work, and offers a compelling account of Derrida's thinking on life and death, good and evil, self and other. Hagglund not only explicates Derrida's position, but also develops his arguments, fortifies his logic, and pursues that logic's implications. The result is a deconstruction of perennial philosophical themes of time and desire as well as of pressing contemporary issues of sovereignty and democracy.
