Earth: Love It or Leave It Kelly Oliver List of Contributors IndexReviewsDerrida's last seminars proved inspirational for the burgeoning field of animal studies, but the ecological tenor and wide-ranging environmental implications of his deconstructive approach has received much less attention. This timely, original, and extraordinarily innovative, collection of essays by many of the key thinkers in the field does much to rectify this. It will be an invaluable reference point for all those interested in the intersection of `continental' philosophy, literary criticism, posthumanism, and environmental concerns. -- Mick Smith * Queens University * Ecology, in its semantic disposition, relates the oikos to the logos, two concepts that Derrida never stopped analyzing. Eco-Deconstruction affirms that in rich, diverse, and inventive ways, and repositions the now extensive work on Derrida and the animal within a broader context of planetary viability. Quite simply, the stellar contributions of this volume manifest a deconstruction that welcomes a whole new environmental space. -- David Wills * Brown University * A terrific collection of essays penned by a stellar group of scholars, Eco-Deconstruction definitively demonstrates the continued relevance of deconstruction in our era of ecological disaster. More than a decade after Derrida's death, Eco-Deconstruction incisively shows us how the tools and concepts central to deconstruction are likewise crucial for thinking about today's pressing environmental problems (nature, life, animals, sustainability, the world, extinction, ecology). No mere echo chamber of agreement, Eco-Deconstruction likewise shows us where deconstruction can be helpfully supplemented with other approaches going forward into an uncertain ecological future. This is essential reading for anyone interested in environmental philosophy. -- Jeffrey Nealon * The Pennsylvania State University * Ecology, in its semantic disposition, relates the oikos to the logos, two concepts that Derrida never stopped analyzing. Eco-Deconstruction affirms that in rich, diverse, and inventive ways, and repositions the now extensive work on Derrida and the animal within a broader context of planetary viability. Quite simply, the stellar contributions of this volume manifest a deconstruction that welcomes a whole new environmental space. -- David Wills * Brown University * Derrida has hailed ecology as a 'new dimension of living together. ' This was in 1998. Almost twenty years later, ecology is nothing new: It even risks already having surpassed itself in the sense of no longer having any specific domain. It is clear that ecology traverses all spheres of all existences. The Eco-Deconstruction undertaken in this volume means both an ecology of deconstruction (what is a disseminated oikos? a differing-deferring one? a prosthetic one? One will have to answer . . .) and also a deconstruction of ecology, thus of economy, ecopolitics, ecomythics, and ecosophy. -- Jean-Luc Nancy A terrific collection of essays penned by a stellar group of scholars, Eco-Deconstruction definitively demonstrates the continued relevance of deconstruction in our era of ecological disaster.
