Abstract

This article is an attempt to analyze the demonstrative logic in a collection of articles by Jean-Luc Nancy entitled La Déclosion : déconstruction du christianisme : 1 published soon after Jacques Derrida’s death. In this text of mourning, Nancy investigates the connection and potential affinities uniting Christianity and deconstruction. He elaborates a thesis which he never explicitly formulates, addressing the late father of deconstruction in quite an unsettling and ambiguous way.
