Description
Stephen Gersh's Being Different: More Neoplatonism after Derrida continues his earlier project (Neoplatonism after Derrida: Parallelograms (Brill, 2006)) of reading the philosophy of late antiquity in a critical encounter with Jacques Derrida's deconstruction of Platonism.
"Being Different is an appropriate sequel [to Neoplatonism after Derrida: Parallelograms], bringing in new players (Augustine, Damascius, Mallarmé) to revisit many of the problems explored in the first volume, while ultimately steering the inquiry into the tantalizing questions of the “performative utterance” and verbal theurgy.

Stephen Gersh is Professor of Medieval Studies and Concurrent Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame. He is the author of numerous books on the history of the Platonic tradition including Neoplatonism after Derrida: Parallelograms (Brill, 2006).
