Psyche: Inventions of the Other is the first publication in English of the twenty-eight essay collection Jacques Derrida published in two volumes in 1998 and 2003. Advancing his reflection on many issues, such as sexual difference, architecture, negative theology, politics, war, nationalism, and religion, Volume II also carries on Derrida's engagement with a number of key thinkers and writers: De Certeau, Heidegger, Kant, Lacoue-Labarthe, Mandela, Rosenszweig, and Shakespeare, among others. Included in this volume are new or revised translations of seminal essays (for example, 'Geschlecht I: Sexual Difference, Ontological Difference,' 'Geschlecht II: Heidegger's Hand,' 'How to Avoid Speaking: Denials,' and 'Interpretations at War: Kant, the Jew, the German').
