On Imposture
Indiana University Press (Verlag)
978-0-253-06529-2 (ISBN)
For Rousseau, taking power, using it, or abusing it are ultimately one and the same act. Once there's power, and someone grants themselves the means, the right, and the authority to force another's beliefs or actions, there is imposture. According to Rousseau, imposture can be found through human history, society, and culture.
Using a deconstructionist method in the classic manner of Derrida, On Imposture explores Rousseau's thought concerning imposture and offers a unique analysis of its implications for politics, civil society, literature, and existentialist thought.
Serge Margel is a philosopher and philologist who teaches at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. He was a student of Jacques Derrida and has authored numerous books and articles on the relations between literature, art, and philosophy. Several of his works have been translated into English, including The Tomb of the Artisan God: On Plato's Timaeus.
