In this book Sally Hart will argue that Jacques Derrida's reading(s) of 'metaphysics in deconstruction' and his raising to theoretical consciousness of the political and politicising 'differential matrix' have the capacity to inaugurate a 'brave new world' in this postmodern 'age of the aporia'. Beginning with an examination of Derrida's readings of Husserl and de Saussure, it is argued that the radical historicity uncovered here qua an originary synthesis of language, time and the other, opens the possibility for greatly more democratising and emancipating self-creations and human solidarities to be thought. Two original comparisons between Derrida and Elizabeth Deeds Ermarth, and Derrida and Jean Baudrillard, serve to support Hart's claim that Derrida's thematics - in particular his elaboration of an affirmative postmodern subjectivity and his call for a New International - provide THE BEST chance (and it is a chance) to realise the possibility of a fairer, freer and more peaceful world to come, without end(s). 'The best' from a radical, left wing point of view.
