Heidegger and the QuestionJacques Derrida
University of Chicago Press, 1989
"I shall speak of ghost, of flame, and of ashes." These are the first words of Jacques Derrida's lecture on Heidegger.

It is also "politics of spirit" which at the time people thought—they still want to today—to oppose to the inhuman.
