What is a secret? Barbour argues that it is the central element of our contemporary political experience. Reflecting on Jacques Derrida’s later works on secrecy, each chapter looks at a separate problematic: society and the oath, literature and testimony, philosophy and deception, and time and death.

Explores the sense in which secrecy is a condition for social relationsThe Snowden Affair, Wikileaks, the ''lone wolf'' terrorist, Hilary Clinton''s private email account - the secret is arguably the central element of our contemporary political experience. Organised as a reflection on Jacques Derrida''s later writings on secrecy, Charles Barbour looks at the basic ontological question: ''what is a secret?'' Four chapters engages with a separate problematic - society and the oath, literature and testimony, philosophy and deception, and time and death. Shows that secrecy is not a negation of our relations with others, but a necessary to those relations.
