In his reading of Heidegger's texts, Derrida points to the frequent invocation of the word Walten , which seems to point to a force, power, or violence at stake in beings as a whole, their inner law, one could say. The essay explores this force, with reference to four words at play in Beast & Sovereign II : the Greek physis , the German Trieb , the German Austrag , and the Greek deinon. The essay seeks to show that the force at stake in Walten entails both a sovereign standing forth, and a threat thereto. It contends that the collective subject of the modern constitution, as well as the constitution itself, are riven by this uncanny force, which although posing a threat to both, at the same time gives a chance for justice. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2025 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
