Writing on Khôra
While I find myself absolutely enthralled by Derrida’s discussion of this elusive name ‘khôra‘, I’m having immense difficulty coming around to writing anything on the topic. I’ve been thrown back onto the preliminary and interminable puzzle of the relation between philosophy and theology, for one thing. How is one to speak of these two names, khôra and YHWH, each clearly (even to Derrida) having much to do with the other especially as names, but which are just as clearly far from identical and even perhaps in competition? For another thing, every commentary on Derrida seems so inadequate to his fantastically agile mind.
