| Resumo: | In his lectures on the death penalty Jacques Derrida argues the surprising thesis that no philosophical system as such has ever been able rationally to oppose the death penalty'. And he also entertains a second thesis that juridical execution undergirds the legal system. In his support for abolitionism, Derrida participates in philosophy' without quite belonging there. In fact, he maintains that juridical execution comes into sharper focus only when we pass from philosophy to theology. There is space for further passage in this direction, perhaps, in exploring the Eucharist as unbloody sacrifice'. It is regrettable that the second thesis is insufficiently established. |
