This book focuses on Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe's oeuvre within a timely framework, and on the counterpoint to this, being organized around areas of Lacoue-Labarthe's oeuvre that appear to be untimely in their relation to narratives of the period.
Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe (1940-2007) was a professor of philosophy, and also a poet, a translator and a playwright. His life and work were dedicated to the philosophical and political movements of the post-1968 era, from his communal life together with Jean-Luc Nancy to his collaborations with Jacques Derrida.
