“The Gift of Hope: The Existentialist Derrida on Life, Death and Sacrifice”

My paper maps the existentialist influence of Kierkegaard on the poststructuralist thinker Jacques Derrida. It focuses on the concept of hope and its transformation in the secular humanistic context. The paper aims to investigate how and if at all can one talk about the Christian concept of hope in a non-religious discourse.
