Sample text

If so, it would be an effect without necessary, sufficient, or, in any case, determining—that is, efficient— cause, as an earlier text in Margins of Philosophy, namely “Diff érance,” had also suggested, in a context that likewise invoked the tradition of Divine names and, more specifically, of negative theology. Derrida muses about the interest of an investigation for which, he says, the argument of Limited Inc leaves no room, but which, in retrospect, may well have found its place in earlier and later writings, whether they deal with “religion” directly, indirectly, obliquely, or not at all.

Furthermore, what would “God,” more precisely, the “Divine name” of God have to do with it? Is the Divine name— and the longer, wider, even deeper tradition for which it stands—an illustration or exemplification, an ultimate and enabling condition, or is it an ulterior and merely secondary— however, “special”— effect? If so, it would be an effect without necessary, sufficient, or, in any case, determining—that is, efficient— cause, as an earlier text in Margins of Philosophy, namely “Diff érance,” had also suggested, in a context that likewise invoked the tradition of Divine names and, more specifically, of negative theology.

42 Thinking “the theological” and, say, the political—hence, engaging oneself morally and pragmatically—thus entails the simultaneous invocation of two heterogeneous, irreducible, yet indissociable aspects and virtualities, whose relationship, Derrida insists, remains non-conclusive—paradoxical, indeed, aporetic—to be decided in an infinite series of singular instances, that is to say, case by case, time and again. No other tradition, no better figure, so far, than that of the saying and unsaying of the Divine name, of the different ways of naming (proving) God—et iterum de Deo— can capture this most ordinary, if at times tragic, of circumstances, practices, and responses to the “undecidables” that make up our lives.
