⁴ Jacques Derrida, For Strasbourg: Conversations of Friendship and Philosophy (Fordham U.P., 2014), 26.

⁵ References for the first appearances of the original English translations are not given, only to their subsequent republication much later in the translation of the French volume Psyche: Inventions of the Other Derrida’s texts. It is not apparent either that the translators on both occasions were, respectively, Ruben Berezdivin and John P. Leavey. Jr. These were: ‘Geschlecht I: Sexual Difference, Ontological Difference’ Research in Phenomenology 13 (1983), 65–83; ‘Heidegger’s Hand (Geschlecht II)’ in John Sallis (ed.) Deconstruction and Philosophy: the Texts of Jacques Derrida (Chicago U.P, 1987), 161–96.

⁶ Chernoweth and Therozo, ‘Reading Derrida’s Geschlecht III’, 276.

⁷ Ibid.

⁸ Michael Lewis, Heidegger Beyond Deconstruction: On Nature (Bloomsbury, 2008).

⁹ The only review of the book that I could find noted: ‘while Derrida’s reading of Heidegger, and thus the Heidegger presented in deconstruction, is rejected and argued against in the book, Lewis does not write extensively on Derrida’s critique … Lewis presents his alternative reading of Heidegger casually … Derrida is merely taken as a foil’. Anthony Paul Smith, Review of Heidegger beyond Deconstruction in Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology 40:1 (2009), 109–11.

¹⁰ A more recent book by the same author takes a more affirmatory stance towards Derrida. I will discuss the extent to which this volume successfully accounts for his positions in a forthcoming publication.
