Jacques Derrida's Acts of Religion (original) (raw)

This paper examines Jacques Derrida's reflections on religion, particularly focusing on the concept of the Abrahamic as central to understanding religion's multiplicity and its relation to identity. It explores the implications of Derrida's thought regarding the complexities of religious narratives and the connections between Arabs, Jews, and the notion of birth in relation to identity and existence. The analysis critiques the traditional understandings of religion and emphasizes the necessity of engaging with Derrida's works to uncover the nuanced relationships between faith, identity, and the conception of the Abrahamic.
