This chapter follows Derrida’s reading of Freud’s Beyond the Pleasure Principle as an “athetic” text that offers a “logic of reproduction” quite unlike François Jacob’s. Derrida’s reading of Freud, undertaken in the last four sessions of his La vie la mort seminar, is both radical and of enormous importance for all the disciplines.

The “normal (i.e., rational) man” ideal that fueled the eugenics movement has found its way into current (both religious and “non-speciesist”) ethics. The situation examined in this chapter is one in which a sovereign knower determines moral worth based on a “double-body” standard.

This final chapter highlights the life death movement that Derrida reads in the texts of Nietzsche and especially Freud, suggesting that the end of movement, rhythmos, is death (without opposition).
