Cogito i istorija ludila
COGITO AND HISTORY OF MADNESS

Summary/Abstract: In 1967, Jacques Derrida, a central figure of French poststructuralism, published three books: La voix et le phenomene, De la grammatologie, and L’ecriture et la difference, the latter being a preparation for Derrida's subsequent writings, introducing some crucial notions of writing, sripture, difference, economy... The book represents a collection of works on Husserl, Levinas, Levi-Strauss, Foucault, Freud, Artaud, Bataille, Jabes, giving insight in the genesis of Derrida's particular philosophy. The central place is the study Cogito et histoire de la folie, dedicated to the Foucault's monumental Histoire de la folie. The study is also a hommage to Foucault, Derrida's teacher, but also a separation from him and structuralism with its metaphysical confinement.
