Interrogating identity and the empirico-transcendental distinction drives Anidjar’s project

Evidence

What is at stake, rather, is to continue to interrogate the empirical, to continue to interrogate the empirico-transcendental distinction. It is this interrogation, as it articulates itself around identity, around a certain empiricism, that orients the pursuit of the Abrahamic that occupies me here. — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 259
