Limited Inc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Limited Inc is a book by Jacques Derrida, containing two essays and an interview.

The first essay, "Signature Event Context," contains his engagement with J. L. Austin and John Searle's speech act theory. The second, the title essay, contains his response to Searle's "Reply to Derrida: Reiterating the Differences." Following the essays is an interview from 1988, "Afterword: Toward an Ethic of Discussion".

Searle's essay is not itself included: he denied Northwestern University Press permission to reprint it. A summary is included between the two Derrida essays, and Derrida quotes the essay extensively.
