In this course
Drucilla Cornell is a legal theorist and deconstructionist philosopher concerned with how systems—legal, linguistic, philosophical—can never fully totalize or contain difference and alterity.

This framework becomes crucial for thinking through how AI systems, despite their apparent totality, remain fundamentally limited by the ungraspable Real that deconstruction insists upon.
