Abstract

This article intends to ,,reconstruct“ and discuss Derrida's conception of law. The main challenge is this ,,counterpoint“: law / justice as law and right / justice as deconstruction . The development is concerned with the ,,deconstructive way“ of thinking contexts , the ,,promise of democracy“ , but also ethics . Do the problems of singularity and judgement condemn us to unsurpassable aporias? Does Derrida's understanding of law respect différance or the ,,indefinite openig“ of the involved contexts?
