Abstract

In his work "Donner la mort" (1992), the French philosopher Jacques Derrida (*1930) devoted his attention to Søren Kierkegaard. This study by Tilman Beyrich interprets Derrida's reading of Kierkegaard, researching the connecting lines between the two philosophers: The styles of Kierkegaard and Derrida · Kierkegaard's "repetition" as logic of différance · Kierkegaard's ethic and the ethic of deconstruction · The Christian philosopher Kierkegaard and Derrida's "repetition" of his Jewish tradition.
