<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">ABSTRACT: This paper offers a comparative reading of the notions of the posthumous in Nietzsche, Sartre and Derrida. I argue that in all three authors,
the idea of the posthumous is inherently linked up with a new conception of responsibility exemplified by the figures of the engaged writer and the philosopher (of the future). While in the tradition of western philosophy responsibility is primarily turned
to a past because it is understood in terms of a responsibility towards Being as given or present, here responsibility becomes “spectral” because tied to something which cannot be present, but is “to come,” futural. Responsibility here is towards a Becoming
of life, irreducible to Being as present. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
