Inhalt:
What is a secret? Barbour argues that it is the central element of our contemporary political experience. Reflecting on Jacques Derrida's later works on secrecy, each chapter looks at a separate problematic: society and the oath, literature and testimony, philosophy and deception, and time and death.
