Editors' Preface.

- Abstract
This document is the editors' preface for an issue of the Oxford Literary Review that focuses on the relationship between life, metaphor, and metaphoricity in the context of Jacques Derrida's work. The preface explains that Derrida's concept of metaphor is not limited to language or rhetoric, but rather encompasses the appropriation of borrowed elements within philosophical discourse. The issue includes articles that explore metaphors of living and technical inscription, as well as contributions that go beyond Derrida's work to examine biosemiotics and ancient Chinese texts. The editors argue that Derrida's thinking of metaphoricity is rooted in a philosophy of life, and they invite readers to reconsider his critique of the metaphysical foundations of contemporary biology.
