Reading Derrida on Husserl's 'Origin of Geometry'

By zoom, 8 May 2024

For our next meeting we decided to read an excerpt from Derrida's book on Husserl's "Origin", to be followed in the meeting/s thereafter by some Benjamin, including his "Theses on the Philosophy of History". 

Pages 25-27, 107–117 (section VIII), and 133-153, of: Jacques Derrida, Edmund Husserl's Origin of Geometry. An Introduction, trans. John P. Leavey, Jr (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1989 [First Bison Printing]) 

French original 1962; Carr's translation of the Husserl piece, which we read ourselves a few weeks ago, is reprinted in this book as well.
