Reviews), and the relationship between narrative, ontology, and deconstruction is not yet clarified. In conclusion, the rising and falling of what has a history (see especially p. 170) still feels like a narrative movement toward the end of the volume, despite the paradoxical rejection of stories explored earlier in the text. The tension between narrative movement and philosophical abstraction is one noteworthy loose end of the book, although this could be a symptom of the formal limits of the seminar. Overall, and because of tensions like the one just mentioned (rather than in spite of them) Heidegger: The Question of Being and History is a fascinating look into a lecture course that was obviously formative in Derrida’s career.
