Logics of Alterity in Derrida's and Deleuze's Philosophies of Justice

2024-01-01
Jacques Derrida's and Gilles Deleuze's philosophies of justice share many similar features. For both, justice involves an overturning of law by extralegal means, made possible by an "undecidability" in the judgment-making process. To distinguish their conceptions of justice, we examine their implicit modes of non-classical reasoning with regard to "otherness," building from Routley and Routley and Daniel Smith, to conclude that Derrida's thinking on justice is at least paracomplete (or analetheic) while Deleuze's is just paraconsistent (or dialetheic).
