Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe [EPUB ebook] 
(Un)Timely Meditations

‘Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe (1940-2007) was a professor of philosophy, and also a poet, a translator and a playwright. His life and work were dedicated to the philosophical and political movements of the post-1968 era, from his communal life together with Jean-Luc Nancy to his collaborations with Jacques Derrida. These movements also carried him towards disparate modes of writing such as poetry and theatre. The tension between Lacoue-Labarthe»s timely and untimely meditations governs the approach in this study, the first to attempt an accessible and comprehensive account of this forceful thinker.’
