Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to bring together the deconstructive notions of the text, the absolute, and the subject into that of messianism and the khora. We will then move on to an application of this messianic frame to the question of the nature of interpersonal relationships and, again, the latter's relationship to law and justice.
