{"product_id":"viral-politics-von-andrew-johnson","title":"Viral Politics","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince Jacques Derrida''s 1989 essay \"Force of Law: the Mystical Foundations of Authority,\" Carl Schmitt has been a perennial subject of Derrida''s political critique. I will argue that Derrida''s concept of auto-immunity is uniquely applicable to Derrida''s interpretation of Schmitt''s political philosophy.  Derrida is a philosopher of a thousand faces. Perhaps, his last face was his concept of auto-immunity. Derrida begins to utilize this biological concept as early as the 1990s, but only after the terrorist attacks of September 11th does this concept becomes a predominate schema in which Derrida configures his philosophy. Derrida''s schema of auto-immunity also has a thousand faces. In many ways, this is the final concept of an illustrious history of prior concepts. Indeed, auto-immunity is deconstruction. As Michael Naas puts it: \"Undecideability, aporia, antinomy, double bind: autoimmunity is explicitly inscribed in Rogues into a veritable ¿best of collection'' of Derrideo-phemes or deconstructo-nyms\" (Naas, p. 29).    I will exhibit how this schema uniquely applies to Derrida''s account of Carl Schmitt''s political philosophy as early as \"Force of Law\" and The Politics of Friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838393612\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eJacques Derrida''s reading of Auto-Immunity and the political philosophy of Carl Schmitt\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838393612","offer_id":39469298679901,"sku":"9783838393612","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/b2cfa5f4-ddd7-4143-8848-59526e168f8f.jpg?v=1775887711","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/viral-politics-von-andrew-johnson","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
