The haunting of justice

Heidegger's reading of the Anaximander fragment in Der Spruch des Anaximander, and Derrida's brief and very dense analysis thereof in Specters of Marx are indispensable in understanding the notion of law as absolute hospitality, specifically its spectral and hyper-political dimensions. The translations of Nietzsche in a treatise completed in 1873 and published posthumously in 1903 and of Diels, also from 1903, referred to by Heidegger, are similar in most respects to that of Burnet. Heidegger sees metaphysics as finding its ultimate expression in Nietzsche's interpretation of Being as will to power. Heidegger continues his analysis by pointing out that also in Homer, ta eonta does not refer exclusively to the things in nature or to objects of human representation. The enjoining of order necessarily involves the limitation of what is present and thus also the imposition of boundaries.
