In the Name of Friendship: Deguy, Derrida and Salut centres on the relationship between poet Michel Deguy and philosopher Jacques Derrida. Translations of two essays, Of Contemporaneity by Deguy and How to Name by Derrida, allow Christopher Elson and Garry Sherbert to develop the implications of this singular intellectual friendship. In these thinkers' efforts to reinvent secular forms of the sacred, such as the singularity of the name, and especially poetic naming, Deguy, by adopting a Derridean programme of the impossible, and Derrida, by developing Deguy's ethics of naming through the word salut, situate themselves at the forefront of contemporary debates over politics and religion alongside figures like Alain Badiou and Jean-Luc Marion, John Caputo and Martin Hagglund.
