ABSTRACT

Jacques Derrida has written a book about spectres; those that are neither alive nor dead, but he begins the book with an appeal – he comes forward, perhaps we come forward too, and asks to learn to live finally. Derrida has also written a book about friends. As well as asking to learn to live we could also ask about learning to live with. Both you and I should come forward. This is about learning to live with Derrida and about how Derrida should live with us.
