Abstract

The article revisits modernity from the point of view of specters. The ‘hontology’ proposed by Jacques Derrida in his 1993 book Specters of Marx is presented as the study of this totally different and unexpected other. It shows the obsession of a hygienism of specters and ghosts made by the Modern Movement, the exorcism of modernity. It has as input the study of the Lares gods of Greco-Roman antiquity and the current relations with the practice of living.
