- Attridge , Derek , ed. (avant) and Jacques Derrida has written on what is at once before in front of (devant) the law in his reading of Kafka's ‘Before the Law’. See ‘Before the Law’, in Acts of Literature (London: Routledge, 1992), pp.181–220. One can see Derrida's account of what is at once before and in front of as a response to both Heidegger and Lévinas. In his redefinition of tradition for Dasein as heritage (Erbe), and making ‘the past one's own’, through a ‘handing down to oneself’ (Sichüberliefern), Heidegger refers to the future possibilities of the past, see Being and Time (Oxford: Blackwell, 1990), pp. 383–85. For Lévinas, in contrast, ‘I can never make the past my own’, the past is always a trace of the other. See Lévinas's “The Trace of the Other’, in Deconstruction in Context: Literature and Philosophy, ed. by Mark C. Taylor, trans, by A. Lingus (Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press, 1986), pp.345–59.
