In this pathbreaking study Christopher Norris proposes a transformed understanding of the muchexaggerated differences between analytic and continental philosophy. While keeping the analytic tradition squarely in view his book focuses on the work of Jacques Derrida and Alain Badiou, two of the most original and significant figures in the recent history of ideas. Norris argues that these thinkers have decisively reconfigured the terrain of contemporary philosophy and, between them, pointed a way beyond some of those seemingly intractable issues that have polarised debate on both sides of the notional rift between the analytic and continental traditions. In particular his book sets out to show against the received analytic wisdom that continental philosophy has its own analytic resources and is capable of bringing some muchneeded fresh insight to bear on problems in philosophy of language, logic and mathematics. Norris provides not only a unique comparative account of Derridas and Badious work but also a remarkably wideranging assessment of their joint contribution to philosophys current if widely resisted potential for selftransformation.
