It begins with a deconstructive reading of Francois Jacob's Logic of the Living, advancing to a critique of scientific 'models' in general. It then takes up Nietzsche's notions of life and the living in terms of both biography and biology. Finally, it reads Freud's Beyond the Pleasure Principle in an exciting and challenging way. The translation by Pascale-Anne Brault and Michael Naas is reliable and eminently readable.""--David Farrell Krell, author of The Sea: A Philosophical Encounter" This is a splendid translation of one of Derrida's most challenging seminars, one that relates, in unprecedented ways, the vocabulary and concepts of historical and contemporary biology and genetics with selected and relevant works of Marx, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Freud. --Dawne McCance, author of The Reproduction of Life Death: Derrida's La Vie la Mort Derrida's 1975-76 seminar, Life Death, is surely one of his greatest achievements.
