O my friends there is no friend The most influential of contemporary philosophers explores the idea of friendship and its political consequences past and future Until relatively recently Jacques Derrida was seen by many as nothing more than the high priest of Deconstruction by turns stimulating and fascinating yet always somewhat disengaged from the central political questions of our time Or so it seemed Derridas political turn marked especially by the appearance of Specters of Marx has surprised some and delighted others In The Politics of Friendship Derrida renews and enriches this orientation through an examination of the political history of the idea of friendship pursued down the ages Derridas thoughts are haunted throughout the book by the strange and provocative address attributed to Aristotle my friends there is no friend and its inversions by later philosophers such as Montaigne Kant Nietzsche Schmitt and Blanchot The exploration allows Derrida to recall and restage the ways in which all the oppositional couples of Western philosophy and political thoughtfriendship and enmity private and public lifehave become madly and dangerously unstable At the same time he dissects genealogy itself the familiar and malecentered notion of fraternity and the virile virtue whose authority has gone unquestioned in our culture of friendship and our models of democracy The future of the political for Derrida becomes the future of friends the invention of a radically new friendship of a deeper and more inclusive democracy This remarkable book his most profoundly important for many years offers a challenging and inspiring vision of that future

When a priest with radical ideas and a parish council with traditional values lock horns over the beliefs they hold most sacred theres bound to be controversyand consequences But murder crosses the line between committing a sin and committing a crime turning a battle over faith into a battle for justice And smack in the middle of the explosive case is Tulsa attorney Ben KincaidKincaid rescued Father Daniel Beale once before When the priests renegade views and violent temper nearly cost him his position as rector of St Benedicts Church Ben intervened and saved the day Now Beale is the prime suspect in the brutal murder of a female parishionerthough lack of evidence has left the case unsolved But as Father Beale struggles to escape the shadow of suspicion another woman is savagely slaughtered And this time Ben himself discovers Beale literally redhanded with the blood of the victimAs Father Beale declares his innocence Ben and his team feverishly work to build a defense that will deliver the man of God from a date with the death chamber But each new revelation that emerges in the packed courtroom only serves to tilt the scales increasingly in the prosecutions favor And Father Beales own shocking testimony ignites a firestorm of controversy that could doom his last best hope for acquittal In his heart and in his gut Ben knows Father Beale is innocent But proving it means taking a leap of faith that will plunge Ben into the whirlpool of dark secrets and dangerous intentions that surround St Benedicts And ultimately it will force the idealistic attorney to confront the chilling face of evil in the most unexpected of placesCriminal Intent proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the author of Murder One has earned his critical reputation as the master of the courtroom drama whose novels of legal suspense consistently offer a oneofakind reading experience
