Procrastination, Ordinary and Philosophical

Pascal Engel École des hautes études en sciences sociales

Abstract

ABSTRACT Confinement is an experiment in procrastination. It used to be a vice, close to acedia, but we now take it as irrational. But it's not clearly so. Procrastination is indeed vicious when a philosopher delays permanently explaining what his theses are. Derrida is a case in point.
