• Introduction: Towards a Post-Foundational Political Thought / 1. Two Economies of Violence / 2. Cartesian Exclusions / 3. The Question of the Outside / 4. The Same and the Other / 5. The Displacement of Politics

In this excellent book, Paul Rekret shows how Derrida’s and Foucault’s writings are caught in the paradox of, at once, affirming and denying the contingency of their post-foundational ontologies. This is an important contribution to the debates about the politics of post-structuralism.
