Example text
For Derrida, community is not the consummate social relation. Rather, it is one type of social relation - a relation that tends to envelop differences in a fused hotchpotch called unity, which is ultimately ontotheological. Human relations between differentiated subjects exist, but they exist in a unique way. They exist as structured through differance, possibility and impossibility. Derrida gives two prime forms of democratic sociality when he speaks of friendship and hospitality, two themes we will return to in greater detail later in the text.
The force of Derridean undecidability, however, would either seem to contradict Derrida's stand or open the possibility of an aporia. A political decision in the midst of undecidability is, for Badiou, a possibility. Derrida's thought, then, makes apparent the aporia of an intervening decision coinciding with undecidability. This will be taken up later in our treatment of Badiou. We now come to the question of why Derrida chooses democracy as opposed to any other form of political organization.
The French word for news, 'actualites\ (actualities, that is, things that happen actually today) betrays this emphasis on the present day as the living present (lebendige Gegenwart) - a present that contradicts the logic of differance. The flow that is described as temporizing may become atomic and is reduced to a series of unconnected and uncommunicative elements if we continue to think of democracy in daily terms. We think in an atomically particularized fashion without giving an account of the structures that make this same thinking (im) possible.
