• W337881844 abstract "This essay recounts author's discussion with Jacques Derrida concerning question and import of chora in Plato's Timaeus, discussion that continued for more than two decades. Returning to Derrida's texts, it seeks to renew questions that animated discussion. ********** ... nous sommes aujourd'hui la veille du platonisme.-Jacques Derrida, La Pharmacie de Platon They were last words. Not last spoke to one another: those came much later, after he became ill, not long before his death. Even then--as always--it was, in part, about words that spoke, about lecture that was soon to appear in English, lecture that, some months earlier, he had presented at commemoration, in Heidelberg, of first anniversary of death of friend Hans-Georg Gadamer. The Stimmung to which this lecture attests, an ageless melancholy, was no less memorable than its title, Uninterrupted Dialogue. There has perhaps been no one more acutely aware than he of extreme precariousness of dialogue, of manifold of conditions that can so readily come to interrupt it, not only blocking way ahead but even, all too often, doubling back over what seemed to have been achieved, condemning it to oblivion. This is perhaps why he cherished dialogue as he did, holding back entirely in situations where he knew it was impossible, venturing it whenever there was glimmer of hope that it might, for time, go uninterrupted, or, for that matter, that it might go at all, since dialogue can go uninterrupted only by accommodating, indeed thriving on, possibility of certain kind of interruption. Because, cherishing it as he did, he was also wary of its pitfalls; dialogue with him was demanding. His unlimited generosity did not result in sheer overflowing of abundance; he seldom simply gave with wide-open arms. It was rather as if, very often, he would have liked to cover his head while making his offering, as Socrates once did. Generosity, then, out of reserve--not as limited by but as rendered all more generous by it. The last words he addressed to me in writing had to do with dialogue, with dialogue that had continued to renew from early 1980s on. His words about this dialogue, deploying indeed word dialogue, were his last words in dialogue. Even absolute interruption is powerless to stem tide of his words, even though in certain way dialogue will, even now after his death, live on, will survive as these words are borne on--still, silence alters everything. For special issue of Revue Internationale de Philosophie, several essays on his work were invited; he was asked to contribute response. His last words about dialogue occur in that response, which itself--in its very title, As it were Possible, 'within such limits' ...--suspends possibility of certain kind of last word. Referring to larger context to which my essay Daydream belongs, he generously mentions our ongoing dialogue about Plato's text for years, has meant so much to me. (1) The Platonic text to which he refers is Timaeus, a text which, he continues, we both feel possesses an implosive power which it keeps in reserve (522). That power is concentrated in single it be word that was, in sense, first and last word of dialogue, word [chi][omega][rho][alpha] (variously transliterated as chora, chora, khora, khora). Though in response he insists--with good reason, no doubt--that he has never found concept that can be contained in one word, that the concept always demands sentences, discourses, work and process: text, in word, there can be little question but that, within text of Timaeus, preeminently within second of Timaeus's three discourses, word [chi][omega][rho][alpha] bears weight of what is there thought, of what is thought in thinking so exorbitant that what is there thought can no longer even be called--except very improperly--a concept (As if 103). …" @default.
