The book traces Derrida's interest in this topic, particularly emphasizing his work on "philosophical nationality" and his insight that philosophy is challenged in a special way by its particular "national" instantiations and that, conversely, discourses invoking a nationality comprise a philosophical ambition, a claim to being "exemplary." Taking as its cue Derrida's readings of German-Jewish authors and his ongoing interest in questions of Jewishness, this book pairs his philosophy with that of Franz Rosenzweig, who developed a theory of Judaism for which election is essential and who understood chosenness in an "exemplarist" sense as constitutive of human individuality as well as of the Jews' role in universal human history. 410 0$aCultural memory in the present. 606 $aPHILOSOPHY / Movements / Deconstruction$2bisacsh 615 7$aPHILOSOPHY / Movements / Deconstruction. 676 $a194 700 $aHollander$b Dana$01521344 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778412303321 996 $aExemplarity and chosenness$93760411 997 $aUNINA
