This essay discusses the missing session in Volume II of Derrida's "Given Time: Counterfeit Money" and analyzes in detail the relationship between this work and Kant as well as some of Derrida's earlier essays. This missing chapter is crucial to understanding Derrida's most concentrated and thorough discussions on the gift.
Derrida's Given Time: I. Counterfeit Money is one of his most celebrated works, though Volume II only came out in French in 2021. Volume I ends with Session Five of the seminar while Volume II opens with Seven, with Session Six only seeing the light of day in early 2024. My essay explains this missing session and goes into some detail examining the relationship of Derrida's project to Kant, briefly mentioned a few times in Volume I, as well as to some of Derrida's own earlier essays. As Given Time gives us his most concentrated and thorough discussions of the gift, this missing chapter is essential to grasp this important topic.
