| Sumario: | This essay proposes a reading of the philosophical problem of evil in Derrida’s works by calling attention to the figures of witch, cow and milk. I will follow this problem through his interpretations of Hegel, Nietzsche and Freud (especially as found in Glas [1974] and the unpublished seminar Manger l’autre [1989-90]). I first propose certain philosophical and psychoanalytic variations that aid in understanding a set of complicated cross- references directly or indirectly established with Hamacher’s works and the problem of eating (especially: Pleroma [1978]). Secondly, I show how the discussion of the problem of evil in these three figures can become a central locus for “deconstructive readings” (for readings that privilege a certain irreducible “complication” or “double-bind”). |
