Abstract

Derrida’s work might evoke easily a constellation of motives interlaced as friendship, pardon, gift, to-come, etc. This text tries, in continuity and community with what came before, to question and to emphasize the ethical-political relation, perhaps secret and veiled, between the appearance of an expression in his last writings («X deign of this name») and the gratitude or the grace. But, what is behind this expression? The result is a logic in tuning in with others used by Derrida.
