READING DERRIDA'S "FORCE OF LAW: 'THE MYSTICAL FOUNDATION OF AUTHORITY' "
Vladimir Đokić
Philosophy Department, Louisiana State University
Abstract. This essay is an attempt at an explication de texte: a reading session on Part I of Derrida's "Force of Law: 'The Mystical Foundation of Authority"'. An explication - that is, an unfolding by means of an interruptive reading that breaks into the text at certain places; a supplementary reading that interprets and mediates by means of insertions and prostheses so as to provide a secure footing (precisely by means of footnotes) for a somewhat better understanding, knowing already, however, that there can never be a steady ground or foundation and even less a secure one -  that is, an irresponsible one.

ČITANJE DERIDINOG DELA "SILA ZAKONA:'MISTIČNI TEMELJ AUTORITETA' "
Ovaj esej predstavlja pokušaj eksplikacije teksta: čitanje prvog dela Deridinog dela "Sila zakona: 'mistični temelj autoriteta' ". Eksplikacija - to jest otkrivanje teksta metodom isprekidanog čitanja kojom se ulazi u tekst na pojedinim mestima; jedno dopunsko čitanje koje interpretira ili posreduje pomoću ubačenih elemenata tako da bi se obezbedila solidna osnova /upravo pomoću fusnota/ za nešto bolje razumevanje, znajući unapred, međutim, da nikada ne može postojati stabilna osnova, a još manje sigurna, to jest, neodgovorna.
