Derrida Talks Atheism & Belief

Radical atheism - the mystic's radical doubt - is the true predicate of belief. Traditional religion, or Heidegger's 'ontotheology' or 'religion touched by metaphysics,' is, meanwhile, proximate to non-belief. Or so Derrida argues in this wonderful excerpt from the 2002 'Other Testaments' conference in Toronto.

[Note: Derrida is exploring the themes I raised in the 'Prayer at Harvard Square' post.]
