While working on the Italian translation of Life Death, I became aware of some inaccuracies on Derrida's part that might weaken the effectiveness of his deconstruction of the notion of 'reproduction'. Not only, such inaccuracies seem to lead Derrida's interpretation of reproduction toward a conception of 'life' that might even hint at an undeconstructed metaphysical background. I have already dealt with such inaccuracies in detail in two articles published in French, here I will recall their outcomes in order to try to test the most problematic hypothesis they have led me to formulate: the Derridean conception of 'life' implies a metaphysical background.

Abstract
While working on the Italian translation of Life Death, I became aware of some inaccuracies on Derrida's part that might weaken the effectiveness of his deconstruction of the notion of 'reproduction'. Not only, such inaccuracies seem to lead Derrida's interpretation of reproduction toward a conception of 'life' that might even hint at an undeconstructed metaphysical background. I have already dealt with such inaccuracies in detail in two articles published in French, here I will recall their outcomes in order to try to test the most problematic hypothesis they have led me to formulate: the Derridean conception of 'life' implies a metaphysical background.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
