我想從曾執行過的研究,「德希達的場所論」計畫中,德希達對柏拉圖《蒂邁歐篇》(Timaeus)的khôra的分析延伸出去,討論作為禮物(don, gift)的贈予(donner, give)問題。這個問題涉及了贈予作為事件本身以及與贈予相關的界線問題,換言之,這也是一個對贈予的可能與不可能性的本源性討論。 這個研究計畫的進行,如前所述,分為(1)對「禮物」本身的分析,以及死亡作為禮物的雙重結構;(2)作為死亡決斷本身的討論,一共兩個部分。最後,也還含括了現象學家馬希翁與德希達之間的論戰,通過這個論戰,也更能使我們理解到「禮物解構學」以及「禮物現象學」之間的分歧,從而更豐富了有關「禮物」的哲學意義。 理解德希達的「可能/不可能」的倫理決斷根源,尤其是重新疏理由海德格而來的「存有作為贈予事件」問題,有助於理解德希達的猶太抉擇以及對倫理問題的向度的開展。 ;From gift to messiah—the question of gift in the thought of Derrida This project, grounded on the previous research Derrida’s Analysis of Plato’s Khôra, extends Derrida’s analysis of khôra in Plato’s Timaeusto discuss the issue concerning don/gift and donner/give. Such an issue involves the questions of donner/give as an event and the related boundary line. In other words, this project will be a discussion about the origin of the possibility and impossibility of donner/give. This project plans to firstly analyze “don/gift” and the double structure of death as a gift and then discusses the death’s decision. Finally, this project will discuss the debate between the phenomenologist Marion and Derrida. The discussion of the debate allows us to see the difference between the deconstruction of don/gift and the phenomenology of don/gift, thereby enriching the philosophical meaning of don/gift. The discussion and understanding of the origin of Derrida’s “possible/impossible” ethical decision help to clarify the “ontology as the event of donner/give” originated from Heidegger on the one hand and advance our understanding of Derrida’s Jewish choice and ethical questions on the other.
